Default 2013-2015 Bumper on 2016+

Has anyone seen any examples of the pre-refresh bumper installed on a post-refresh GS?

I used to like the predator grill but have been finding myself liking the older style bumper.

And this is hindering my GS purchase, lol.

I do like the GSF grill and I am test driving one this week, it just came off lease and the price seems reasonable. Of course, depends on how the negotiation goes and the condition of the vehicle.

But for now, I am keeping my expectations low and considering a GS350F.

Wow we are going to get @eddie420 back!

IMO not worth the cost and custom work to change the bumper, just vinyl wrap the chrome gloss black and it will look so much better.

Are you also keeping the RX?

Good question. I would like to keep it since the extra space comes in handy. But the trade in value is pretty good also and will make financially affording the GS much easier. I don't know, honestly.

Hey @eddie420 Why not get a 2015 GS 350 f-sport? If it's not fully loaded pickup where you left off with the mods? Seems like that's the car you really wanted and you would save money compared to a newer one. Other than the full screen nav and aluminum door handles, lol the car is not much different.

How did the GSF Test drive go?

You really don’t like the 16+ bumper? I love it.
