Default front bumper upgrade

hi everyone,
i just purchased a 2014 lexus rx 350 and i was just curious if there is a way to upgrade the front bumper into a f-sport bumper. i understand the headlights are the same however the fog lights are different.
i really like the rx but not a big fan of the standard look of the front.
let me know what you guys think.

thanks for looking!

I have a 2013 RX450h with the F Sport "package" which included the F Sport front bumper and 19 inch F Sport rims and some other items which I can't recall at the moment. Last year some douchebag scraped me front bumper. I went to a local small body shop and I was quoted something like $900 just for the front F Sport bumper parts only plus another some $300 for labor and odds and ends. Total was around $1200. So it's "not too bad" relatively speaking. As a comparison a few years ago had hit some debris on I-10with my MB SLK55 AMG front bumper. I had only cracked the front bumper but there was a small piece (2 inch by 2 inch plastic bumper) snapped off. The repair bill came to around $4500!!

Incidentally I declined the repair on my RX450h and the scrape buffed out. I later found out the front bumper is around $325 direct at:

Good luck.

thanks for the reply. i am still wondering if the conversion of standard front bumper to F sport is possible. my model also comes with the 19" rims.

edit: i will post few pics when i get the chance.

IDK if it will fit. Maybe someone who actually did it will chime in?
