My car have parking sensors but didn’t have the headlights washers, about the sensor holes on the new 11” bumper are a little smaller, i used the sand paper and sand around the sensor holes to create just a little bigger to able to put the old sensors on and i think on the back of the bumper also have a cut out for a washer thing
Thanks. That's very valuable info as it's better to sand the wholes down to make them larger before painting the bumper. Thanks for the tip!
My car has both, parking sensors and headlight washers. So I hope it won't be a problem to fit the headlight washers. The 2011 bumper I bought has holes both the washers and sensor holes.
Not sure how urgent of a project this is for you but i am in the middle of something similar....i have a cracked bumper and i ordered the 2IS to 3IS bumper conversion kit along with a bunch of other parts i needed....i might have some of the parts that you are interested in from my 2011 IS250 without sport package, without headlamp washers and without park assist sensors that i can sell to you for a very reasonable cost compared to new...my car only has 54k miles so the parts that didn't get damaged are in pretty decent shape i would think...specifically the fog light covers and the lower grille is something that could be useful for you....Please PM me if you are interested and we can discuss...thanks !
Thanks for the offer. But it seems yours is not a F-sport? I already have the bumper cover and I'm going for the full F-Sport look. So the grill, fog light covers, lower grill, grill frame etc need to be F-Sport.
And yes, the sport trim ring is trying to be a black chrome.
Edit: FWIW the list of F-Sport bumper covers does not list mine. Eeeek! F-Sport with headlight washers w/out park sensors.

Because that would explain why there are different part numbers for grill surround frames for F-Sport and non F-Sport. In photos they look identical, so the difference must be the color.
Although I couldn't find a part number for a black chrome emblem.
But in many photos the grill surround frame and L emblem look darker chrome.
JM2C what most of us would consider black chrome, the perimeter is weak sauce. More of hint of tint while the emblem appears to me as regular chrome.
As I know it, the difference in emblems is whether they use pins and adhesive or just adhesive. I was trying to find these emblems / badges front and rear on fleabay as I don't care for chrome myself. Which reminds me, I need to cover the window chrome.

Thanks. I couldn't find any part numbers for a black front grill emblem. All I found on the site was this number: 90975-02080. It was also linked to the F-Sport grill in the list. So maybe there is only one grill emblem?
By the way, could you guys with the 2011 and new cars or with the 2011 bumper do be a big favor? Does my fender line look to be a 2011 facelift one? The fender liners currently on my car don't seem to fit. You can see them from the outside. I'm thinking they are just not the correct ones. Maybe the former owner bought new ones and instead of buying the right one, he bought liners for the IS facelift 2011. The liners have holes which don't align with any hole on the fender. OhioIS350 mentioned the holes on the pre-facelift liners not aligning with the facelift 2011 bumper. So maybe my liners are 2011. For all I know the screws on the liners are there because new holes were made on the liners to align with the holes on the fenders. As I don't think there are supposed to be any empty holes, right? So maybe they are for the 2011 facelift cars and I won't need to buy new liners when I put on the facelift bumper on my car.
Here you can see the empty holes and that they don't align with any holes on the fender:
i think those liners are aftermarket one, that why it’s look like wavy and uneven look? They mounted wrong too, the fender liners supposed to tucked behind the fender not outside the fenders the 06”-09” fender liners can tuck inside behind the 11” bumper without the bumper fender clips if you don’t want to. But you can reuse your fender liners on the new bumper, but make sure the liners tuck behind the bumper

Ah that makes sense. I guess this explain why it looks so ugly and out of place. No idea why it is not tucked behind. But how would the fender liners hold without the bumper fender clips? So yours is without the bumper fender clips?
First rain in months and my skinned rim... I did that one! =/
Thanks a lot for taking the time to make the photos. Truly appreciate it.
It seems besides not being tucked behind, my fender liners are also using the wrong clips/fasteners. They look more like bolts where yours look like clips. Unless this is different between 2006 and 2011? I will look for the part numbers of the clips as I probably need to order them too. So far I couldn't find them here: https://www.discountpartsmonster.com...and-components

what i did was used two screws go through the 11” bumper holes where the clips supposed to be on and screw in the fender liners behind that and that will hold secure in place

Thanks. I will see how it goes once I take it off to put the new bumper.
By the way, I got all the parts from the Lexus dealership. Radiator grill, lower grill, grill frame, side spoilers, new Lexus emblem. Now I need the fog lights. Found some but they seem to be without the bulb. So they just have a hole at the back. I'm guessing the bulb comes with the socket and the cable then?

You're absolutely right. The black effect on the chrome is very subtle. The guy at Lexus even didn't notice at first. It looks like just normal chrome from most angles unless in the dark.
Thinking of trying to do something with it so it looks darker. Maybe there is such a thing as a darker clear coat spray paint? Then I would do the same with the front and rear emblems.

yeah but the new fog lights is H11 bulb base, if you plane to upgrade to LED or HID that would be H11 the existing 9006 won’t fit in there
