I believe you will have to change the front grill as well if you want the '09 bumper.

The '06-'08 have this little "mini-lip" that's bolted to the bottom of the bumper. The '09+ are one piece and have a slghtly more aggressive look. The '06-'08 will give you more modification options though...

I work at Toyota actually, but that gives me access to quite a bit of Lexus information as well.
