Default 2016/7 non F-Sport grill can be swapped with the F-Sport one?

Hi all,

Has anyone replaced a 2016/7 non F-Sport grill with an F-Sport one?
Are those 100% compatible from an installation perspective?

Thanks!

I have not done this personally as i have the pre-refresh GS. However, it seems like the outer chrome pieces are the same but just black plastic grille is different. One thing I haven't seen is the upper grille portion for sale. It seems like lots of the sites like mylparts.com and houseoflexus.com have the lower grille but not the upper. Might want to give your local dealership a call and see if they are able to get just the upper plastic mesh grille.

The grille is actually in two pieces but looks like its all one. Check out this grille on eBay to get an idea of how it looks: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-TOYOTA...-/282634937521

I imagine similar to the 13-15 GS, the chrome molding pieces will fit the same on both the f sport mesh and standard non-mesh plastic inserts.
