Default 2018 Lexus IS 300 Grille Upgrade

Looking for someone to tell me which parts I need for this.

I currently have the upper and lower grille parts

5311253320

5311353160

is there any other parts I should also have? Any recommendations on who can do the work since Lexus doesn’t seem like an option.

Thanks George,

Are the other pieces mandatory to get the grille to fit? Or will the upper and lower pieces fit around the pieces already in place?

I gathered all those pieces, I haven't done the swap yet since it's freezing up here lol!

I'll know for sure in April (hopefully sooner) what was actually needed, the only piece that I'm hesitant on is the backing plate, not sure if the base model already has this or not.

Here's the train of thought:
Grille - Upper = 53112-53320 <-- Upper grill
Grille - Lower = 53113-53160 <-- Lower grill
Grille Molding - Upper = 53121-53050 <-- Grill surround

Grille Molding - Front Lower = 53122-53070 <-- Bottom piece of the grill surround
Grille Molding - Lower = 52112-53130 <-- Backing plate

Bumper Trim (For IS' without the parking sensor) - Right = 53125-53100 <-- Covers for the front part of the grill
Bumper Trim (For IS' without the parking sensor) - Left = 53126-53100 <-- Covers for the front part of the grill

Yea I’ve struck out with just the upper and lower grille. It definitely seems like those surrounding pieces are necessary.
