Default f sport front bumper vs non f sport

Does anyone know if the F sport front bumper is interchangeable with a non F sport? I know the grill is different but will a non F sport front bumper fit a F sport car and grill? One thing I hate about the f sport is the fog lights. Kind of weird the non F sport and RCF gets no fogs light but the F sport does. Would make more sense if the non F sport got fog lights and F sport/RCF didn't.

I prefer the fogs on any models. It's more weird without them.

Bumpers are the same. If you don't like the fog lights, you can purchase the "garnish" for both sides for the RC without fog lights. It's that little boomerang looking piece that houses the fog lights.

I'm not sure what you mean. I have a RC350 without the F-Sport package but I have the fog lights. They may be a part of the F-Sport package (which is really a collection of options rather than a different model - The RC-F is a different model), but the fog lights are available without the F-Sport, as you can see.

People might hate me for saying it, but the sport grill is getting overkilled on every lexus. I like the luxury one.

I actually wanted to wrap the chrome trim around the grill on my wifes RX F-Sport but she didn't want me to.. And since it's her vehicle she won that discussion..

RC-F doesn't need the fogs, the triple LED headlights light up that area and fog lights wouldn't make a difference.


I was a bit disappointed that the RC-F didn't have the fogs initially as I have always had them and use them all the time because I don't like having that dark area between the bumper and the headlight beam when driving at night, however over the past 2 weeks driving the RC-F it is very clear that fogs are unnecessary due to the fabulous way the Triple LEDs light the road.

"Just do it man...she wont even notice"
Any modification that could be done to a car that would not even be noticed by its owner is not something I think I would bother doing.

women don't notice stuff like that, no different than men noticing she changed her hair.




my wife owned her Camry Hybrid since Oct 2006, in 2012 we bought a new house and after she repeatedly backed into the planter in our driveway of said new house, I installed backup sensors in her car.


3 weeks went by and she finally said, hey my car make this beeping noise when I back into the driveway now, I think something is wrong with it.




yes I had told her I was going to do it
yes I had told her I did it
yes I even pointed it out to her.




I love my wife, but she isn't a car person, to her like most women it is simply a device to get from point A to point B.




don't even get me started on the fact that after 8 years she still cannot operate the Navigation system in it, and uses the headlight switch to turn on the lights even though it has auto headlights..

my heart hurts for you... my lady is a car fiend (knowledge wise, knows her 50-70s mustangs), knows how to appreciate and is LEARNING to take care of it,

"women don't notice stuff like that"
OK - now I think we are generalizing from insufficient data.

Actually she will notice, especially when it comes to the grill. She loves the F-Sport grill for it's aggressive look. And since it's her vehicle and prefers the chrome surround I'll respect her decision.

As they say "Happy Wife, Happy Life"''
