Unhappy Help - GSF FRONT Grill

Dear,

MY car have front damaged and need to replace the front radiator grille.

The issue is that Dealer (Lexus) doesn't sell the upper Grille separately and advice me to purchase the whole front component which cost more then 3,000 $

The is no separate part # for that Upper Grille that's why they didn't sell it alone

Have any one tried to get RCF upper grill to check if it fit with a GSF ??

Please advice and Thanks

I was in the same situation and was frustrated as beep!!! The RCF upper won't work. I took a chance and bought a bumper assembly from Ebay that actually worked. It's a GSF conversion for a 13-15 GS350. I paid 1k shipped . I only used the upper and lower grill and used my existing grill surround. Everything lined up perfectly. The only thing I didn't like was the lower has the license plate holes cut out but besides that I am happy it worked.. So while 1k is not cheap it sure beat spending 5k plus.

I just ignored them.. They weren't in the way of anything.

That part number is the GS F grille for Japan, Europe, and General markets. Just not North America. Very odd. The price on the carbon fiber piece has dropped quite a bit too. Still stupid expensive, but a lot less than $5k now.
