Thank you for all of the responses LexTuners. Since you state that there is no real way of fitting them to the 06-08 models can you foresee anything new coming to market that would be similar?

Ha, I agree. It's funny how much confusion has surrounded this topic. I started asking around about the F-Sport grille four weeks ago, and only now can I finally say everything is a complete success. Again, special thanks to LexTuners for providing an extraordinary level of service in helping to correctly sort out all the information on here and for getting me the parts. If you're considering getting the F-Sport grille insert, or doing any Lexus mod for that matter, I would definitely recommend them. Not only did LexTuners go out of their way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, but their prices were very competitive. Plus their current discount of 10% off using the promotional code "HOL10" really sweetened the deal.

Anyways, I can finally confirm that the F-Sport grille is indeed a perfect fit on the 2011. Both the upper and lower grille inserts are installed now on my car. Here are some pictures:

A lower grille also available? to Match the upper grill on the 2009/10 IS? Does LexTuners sell it?
Gabriel/LexTuners any word on this? I am interested.

The lower grille doesn't really match the upper grille insert but it is different then the non F-Sport package 2011 IS250/350. In other words NO lower grille for 2006-2010 IS models

Looks awesome! Can't wait to do this as well...

Can you comment on how easy/hard it was to replace the upper grille? I think you mentioned having to take off the entire bumper in one of your earlier posts, but looking at another thread you had a link to, it looks like you basically just pop the old one out and pop in the new one.

Thanks!

Quote: First off, special thanks to LexTuners for all their help with my questions and for ordering the grille upgrade for me. It was my first time ordering from them and they went out of their way to help me -- the customer service went above and beyond my expectations. I spoke with Gabriel Valle who was particularly helpful in acquiring the parts I needed.
I've always made a big deal about LexTuners, Gabriel and Magnussen Lexus.

Glad to see you got your grille in, looks great!!

Thanks man, glad you like it. With patience, the upper grille isn't so bad, but you really have to be careful with the tabs on the grille surround. They are plastic and it would be very easy to fatigue or break them if you forced it too much when trying to pop it out of the slots. Also, proceed with caution when removing and replacing the weather stripping. The little plastic clips that attach the rubber to the bumper are a pain to work with. You don't want to break anything, so go slowly.
