Default Fsport replica grill installed

I'm all about knock offs, IF the fitment is is spot on. This $70shipped Fsport replica grill did not disappoint. Fitment is perfect!
install is super easy, im have no idea why all the DIY threads say to take off the weather stripping, and to take off the front bumper.. there is NO need for either. wish I would have added this a long time ago, it matches lower grill so much better!

before


After

Look nice but I don't like faking the funk. It doesn't seem to have the metallic flakes in the color like the real one.

Is it as good as the factory F sport, no. Is it still good, yes, I think so. Improves the look and depending on which one you buy, you can run without a Lexus logo.

Yea you're right, I didn't realize the oem Fsport has a glossy metallic finish. This grill is flat black, however so is the lower grill. so it matches perfectly both in design,and color.

I wish it only came to $50 for me...

After shipping to Canada and the exchange rate it comes to $120...still super tempting.

Can u provide a link to their site? When I google nexus shipping I get 2 different sites

Would they ship to around the area of Niagara or is this strictly for BC?
