The F Sport grills make a huge difference but also may not want to do all that work lol.

Thinking of maybe painting the current set up I have gloss black and then adding the black to the bumper and adding a lip to the bottom of the front bumper. Do you think the link below would work on my front bumpers set-up ? It says only F sport, but I think i saw somewhere in a forum where others have used it on the base bumper.

Thanks for the recommendations on the fogs too! I appreciate all the recommendations. Will def order everything and get it done.
The Skipper or SK Style lip can fit the standard bumper but there might be gaps and some fitment issues overall. The lip that works best with the standard bumper is the Lexon or L-Style lip (i have this lip on my standard, non f-sport: https://www.ebay.com/itm/L-Style-Fro...y/391167972034).

Here is the thread covering this topic with a wealth of information and others with the standard bumper and L Style lip: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...rt-bumper.html

Fellow member UDel added the SK Style lip (as well as f-sport grille inserts) to his standard bumper with a little bit of work: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-this-lip.html

AJLex19 - Thanks for the links again. I actually like the Lexon L-style lip a lot! It's not as aggressive as the SK style lip, but adds a subtle touch. Might just roll with that, paint it gloss black, paint my current grill set up gloss black and wrap the middle section of the bumper gloss black as well. Think that would be a nice set up.. Also use the bumper plugs as recommended! Will keep you all updated

Here’s a pic of the holes left from the license plate frame... might need to do some body work because for whatever reason, there’s way too many holes lol

Your better off getting a custom license plate, nice frame, and putting it back on, than filling and repainting the bumper.

That’s what I wanted to do in the beginning but think once I fill in the holes, paint it and make the middle section black with the lip, it’ll make the front end much more aggressive! Just got a quote to have the holes filled, remove both upper and lower grills, paint the grills gloss black, paint the middle section of the bumper gloss black and install the lip (after putting a layer of clear on the lip) for $400.. from a reputable collision shop that only works on high end vehicles (range rovers, Lamborghini, Benz, etc).

Think its a great deal!
