Hi

Sorry for the new post but couldnt find the info anywhere.

Will a Center Air Vent for a 2011 IS250C fit an 2007 IS350?

Thank you in advance

Hey, did you replace your cracked dashboard yet?

Hey! Yes I did! I replaced it with the 2011+ dashboard brand new. Got it for 380$ or something like that. Now I want to change my center air vent for a 2011+ one so it can fit flush with an Android Screen. They recommend the new Center Air vent and besides mine is broken.

So I found a center air vent but it's for an IS250C and just want to know if it will fit my 07 IS350.

The updated center vents from IS C and IS250/350 have the same part numbers, so they should fit in 2011 dashboard, given everything behind the vents hooks up nicely.

You need to cut the back of the vent to fit.

I also ordered part 55844-53030 which is the back vent that fits the new one.

Nice; I didn’t know a separate part for that existed. I took a dremel to the vents to make it fit.

Hi. I was waiting for the part but it's out of stock and don't want to order again. How did you cut the back to make it fit? Do you have any pictures by any chance?

yeah, I posted some pictures and directions here. There are a few others talking about cutting the vents in that thread as well.
