Angry Fixing Front Grill, what am I doing wrong

So I've been trying to change my front grill to an OEM blacked out grill (with Lexus Sign in Black) basically just like an OEM one but all black.

So I ordered an OEM grill thinking it'll fit into my grill surround but when it arrived it is much smaller and doesn't fit at all, so what am I doing wrong?

Have I ordered the wrong grill? is this for the IS200 or something?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the correct Grill (product code) and where I can buy this from?

looks like you ordered a grille insert for a is250/350.. isf has a wider front thereby wider grille..

"with distance sensor":

on both sites you'll see in the remarks it's specifically for the IS F. Looks like it's the same part numbers for all model years

Thanks mate, the funny thing is everything is identical on both types apart from the middle emblem and nut.

You should contact RR Racing they offer a grille with the F badge on it.
