Hi tliartis - this looks great!
Would you mind providing details about your grille swap - specifically, how involved it was, and how much it cost?Thanks in advance. I think most of us posting to this thread are awaiting your reply with bated breath....

Swap
It was done at Lexus of Orlando, which is the worst dealership ever by the way. Besides my experience, the grill swap was easy. I can't remember exactly I want to say $400 for parts and labor. I would have to check. I don't have the paperwork as I am moving currently. I simply asked them if they could do it and they said sure without a second thought. I would maybe contact them direct to see if they can shed some light.

Back to the original question... I don't like the F-Sport top grill with the standard bottom grill. Looks confused to me and IMHO it makes the bottom grill look cheap.
If there's a way to do both, that would be the way to go.

Yes. I did it about 3 months ago. Had a body shop do it. You have to take off a couple of tabs on the bottom grill but it fits and I think it looks great and it only cost $450. If you would like I'll post pics. I also have f-sport OEM wheels I put on. I didn't like the grills or the wheels that come on the Lux.(oh by the way, Most parts departments will tell you it can't do it so I spent $52 to see.
