I researched throughout the whole forum and I did google the question however I cannot seem to find a clear answer. I just got 2014 IS250 with the regular frontend grille and I want swap it out to the F-sport grille and I'm not sure if its possible. I noticed the oem bumpers do not come with the grille so I assume its just taking out the existing grille and putting the F-Sport mesh grille. Can anyone verify this for me please? And if that's possible where can I get the F type mesh grille from other than dealership?? Or perhaps aftermarket grille thats styled like the F type one.

 

You would have to replace the entire bumper, as the two grills are dimensionally different. You can (hopefully) see the difference here. The F Sport grill is not as wide at the bottom, and the pinch point of the spindle is higher on the F Sport (look at the pinch point in relation to the LED running lights).

 

Damn! I definitely see the difference, do you know if anyone makes any aftermarket grilles that would fit the regular IS250 bumper?? I would love something that give me that mesh f-type look but I don't see a point of getting whole new bumper just for the grille :/

 

Let me know if you find anything. I neeeeed to change this grill!

 

curious if you guys did anything on the base 250 grille?
