LS460/LS600 spindle grill exchange for a normal grill

Hello,

have anyone tried to exchange spindle grill for a normal (non spindle) grill on an LS460/600?

Whole new front bumper. you CAN do it but the tabs won't line up correctly.
I wanted to do the opposite and switch from the non-spindle grill to the spindle grill on the f sport..

There's only one member on here that I've seen do it, AZLS460.

Yep, whole new front end needed. Fenders, lights, hood, bumper, grill. Not a cheap swap unless you have a body shop blend pieces together, and even then that wouldn't be "cheap".

As was said, whole new front end, new headlights, new foglights, new grilles, potentially even a new hood....

Then theres the value impact of paying for a newer model and making it look like the older model. If you want a pre 2013 then get a pre 2013.
