Lexus is 250 Front Grill swap for IS F Grill
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and I own a 2010 (MY11) Lexus IS 250 luxury sport. Please find attached a photo of my car right now. Please excuse the lip with masking tap on it as we where trying it out for size. But basically i have done a lot of research and been in touch with Lexus in regards to swapping over my grill to a mesh style (IS F Grill). Lexus has told me i can't do it due to the pre-crash sensor badge etc in my grill which the Sport style grill does not have and it would not really fit. But i have seen the 2011 Lexus is 250 (F -SPORT STYLE) cars fitted with the mesh style grill before (not the V8 ISF). So i am thinking well isn't my bumper exactly the same size? its just the pre-crash system styled grill.? Lexus has told me a new grill would cost $1000 AUD which is a lot of money if it didn't fit.
I don't really care not having the pre-crash sensor on as it only works during cruise control which i never use as i do only city driving. So i have seen custom grills selling on eBay for 2010 Lexus with no badges attached that has the mesh style grill. In the future when i go to sell the car i would re-attach the old original grill.
Could you guys give me some advice? if any of you have done this before with success? any feedback greatly appreciated.

I have the ebay fsport ( mesh) style grill. Purchase one with the black oval so you can remove your Lexus badge from the old and transfer to the new one. Easy peasy lemon squeezey. I don't know much about the precrash sensors as mine is an 07 and may not be equipped with that feature.
