I have a quick question to whether you can use a 2016+ bumper on the 13-15 if you just trim out the piece between the DRL and the headlamp? I know I can’t be the only one. I found a SUPER cheap 2016 bumper and would be cool to do the conversion. Attached photo for reference.
Wouldn't you have a hole where the DRLs are? The pre facelift has the DRLs integrated within the headlight but post facelift has them below the headlight.

I should’ve specified haha, I have a 2013 and was looking to use my stock headlamps with the facelift bumper. Hence the trimming of the bumper to make it fit

Keeping your stock 2013 headlights with a 2016 bumper would require some significant customized body work on the facelift bumper. I'd forget that idea...
Maybe it's time to trade-in your 13 year-old GS and get a 2016+ GS with the new facelift bumper you like, and all the new features and technology a 2016+ has that your dated 2013 doesn't have.

I see a comment here where the OP said the thing about cutting the bumper. The only comment on that would be that it appears to be an F style bumper not the FSport. https://www.reddit.com/r/Lexus/comme..._sport_bumper/
This is what I was looking for. I knew it could be done one way or another haha. Using a oem bumper is going to fit way better than the aftermarket conversions.
