I've seen sporadic posts on this, but no dedicated thread so far. Does anybody know the EXACT part number for the F-Sport mesh upper grille insert? I've found the entire F-Sport front bumper upgrade that includes it at Sewell, but I'm looking for just the grille insert on its own for my new 2011. I know some people are not fans of the look of this squiggle grille, but I like it. Any insight would be appreciated.

Here is a before picture of my car on the lot yesterday as stock, and an after picture with a Photoshop of the F-Sport mesh upper grille insert, just for comparison.

So the 2011 F-Sport grill would not fit in is250 '09?

LexStylez

Yes, the 2011 F-Sport grill will fit in an '09 is250. As Sffd103 said check out dubsesd thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...rt-grille.html

Thanks for the posts. I know the F-Sport upper grille fit in dubsesd's 2009 ride, but I just picked up a 2011. My question is whether the F-Sport upper grille will fit into a 2011 non-F-Sport IS350. I have heard conflicting information from two sources who are both credible. One said that it will fit and that the bumpers for the 2011 non-F-Sport and F-Sport have the same dimensions, (disregarding the F-Sport's front lip spoiler). However, the other source said that the grille will not fit, that the bumpers were indeed different, and that the F-Sport grille will not fit into the grille surround on the 2011 non-F-Sport IS350. I really want the F-Sport grille, but am hesitant to order the part if it's not going to fit. Again, I appreciate everyone's help on here.

i'm sorry but i'm a little confused, perhaps you guys are more in the know since it's not mentioned in his thread. But you sure dubsesd's F-sport grille is actually the 2011? not the 09-10 F-sport grille because there's one for the 09-10 also in certain markets (canade being one of them)?

even in his thread he said the 2011 grille might be different, which led me to think that his might be the one made for 09-10 models, unless i misunderstood the post.

i kinda find it strange that the 2011 F-sport grille would fit the 09-10 models, but wouldn't fit a 2011 non-F-Sport IS, unless Lexus specifically fit the 09-10 F-sport grille on the 2011 F-Sport package, but i don't know...

ps. based on the part # LexTuners posted, the 2011 F-sport grille has a different part # than the 09-10 one, but i'm not sure if that necessarily means anything...

LexStylez

You're right I missed that post. Dubsesd probably has the 09-10 F-Sport grille. My bad.

CalMike hopefully someone knows the answer.

There's 2 different grilles we're talking about here, 1 is the 09-10 Japan F-Version and Canadian IS350 F-Sport Version part #? 2 is the new 2011 IS250/350 F-Sport Package part # 53112-53220 insert only. We will have confirmation that the 2011 F-Sport grille will or will not fit the 2011 IS none F-Sport soon.

This is a 2011 IS250/350 F-Sport Grille "Insert" on a 2011 IS250/350 Grille Surround from a none F-Sport Car. It clips right on to the pre-set tabs. Will not fit 2009-2010 IS250/350.

@Lextuners, I purchased and installed my flat bottom steering wheel from you folks. I love it. Thanks for the great deal (Hol10). I am wondering if this F mesh grill will fit my 08 IS350. Plz let me know.

sgolko

I think this is what you are saying, but can you please confirm that the 2011+ F-Sport Grille insert will fit with the factory non-F-Sport surround?
My local dealer tells me that the F-Sport grill surround and the factory surround have different part numbers, so it has me a bit concerned...

Thanks!
