you just need the bumper and grill.... bolts right in... I've done the conversion

 

I don't agree it's huge but is definitely a difference. That difference is more noticable to us Lexus fans but I spot it easily and frequently.

I say do it if you want with no hesitatin. I thought about doing it before getting a kit. I priced all the parts and called in the order. I changed my mind only because I wanted the width sideskirts provide with aftermarket kits.
It was 3 years ago so I don't remember the cost but its do-able and its worth it.

 

where would be the best place to look for the best price for the bumper and grille.. i dont mind used bumper i can get it repainted.

 

^^ebay or find someone who doesn't need their stock bumpers anymore

 

I've bought all my oem stuff from Carson Toyota in Cali. Tell the parts guys you're a cl member for a discount.

 

Did it a few years ago myself. Costed a little over a thousand installed and painted. Non-Lexus owners probably notice it looks newer, but can't put their finger on it. The 08+ bumper/grille makes the car look newer and sleeker. The 06-07 bumper makes the car look more boxy. I didn't do the mirrors. They're too expensive for something so subtle and the aftermarket ones don't look that good...

 

The SC300/400 guys have been doing this for years. Heck, I put 97 side skirts on the 95 SC I had. No one suggested anything negative about it. Even SC430 and LS430 owners do it. What's wrong with 3GS owners doing it. Not a darn thing!

 

what kinda lip / body kits are made for the 08-09 bumpers??

 

how much did it run you for the complete upper grille, lower grille...

also does the 06-07 fog lights fit right in?

anything else i need to know?

 

The fog lights fit right in. It does make it look different, but it's the same. You're also forgetting the grille trim which you have to get too.

 

hmm looks like it will cost 1200 for parts n labour.... im gonna hop on this soon !

 

Anyone have the part number for the GRILLE + MOULDING

and where can i find it for the cheapest?

 

Car-part.com They should have what your looking for.
