Default F-Sport Front Grill Question

Does anyone know what these holes are for? Reminds me of the RC fog light locations.

That's a possibility. I wonder if some F-Sports in different countries have front sensors? I know in the US, we don't.

Could be access points for screws or mounting points? That's my guess ...

Pretty positive that those are for the front sensors as for non-F Sport 3IS, the sensors are about the same position. Other than US and Canada, F-Sport IS can be equipped with park sensors. Again this is another example of the lack of important features for F-Sport 3IS for the North American market. Competitors (Audi, BMW, Mercedes) don't have this kind of restriction for their equivalent sport models. Really stupid decision from Lexus US and Lexus Canada and they fixed that in F-Sport NX (thankfully)

In Australia that's the mounting points for front proximity sensors (all our Fsports come with it). I guess Lexus Australia needs to justify charging us $85-90K for optioned up Fsports.
