The pdf's are handy. But it would be great to have the hyperlinks active to see the detailed removal instructions for each component. Like the details to remove the cornering light assembly under bumper disassembly.

It be great to see a stickie devoted to removal and re installation piece by piece.

I just contacted Nigel from JDM. It appears the price of the F Sport grill "kit" has jumped up to $2,200 shipped? Are these parts not available in the US?

I would recommend sourcing OEM parts from the dealer with the part numbers listed on this thread.

Anyone know which grill part number this one is? I'm having difficulty deciphering the gibberish in the chart below..

PM sent!
The look is fantastic! Did any of you figure out the F-Sport Grille that fit the standard frame (any supplier) ? Any help will be great.

Hi Nigel,
You have mentioned re the option 2 (F-Sport grilles on standard non F-Sport RX450H). I am thinking of the conversion.

Can you send me a price? I am in Toronto, Canada.

Just one more question; for the replacement of this grille, do I have to dismantle the entire bumper?

Thank you.

Joe

I am still searching for the lower grille part number. Yes it can be done. But I just need to power grille. This one in the pic seems longer or taller. We tried to install it. Leaving a 4inches gap. But with this one there no gap and perfect fit. As long as I can find the part number it easily done with the conversion.

What's the part number that you used for the lower grille?

I found an alternative way, emailed a guy and he was really helpful and I ordered through him. The quality of the grill and paint are excellent.

Default Warranty

Will this void the warranty?

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act states that a dealer must prove that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before it can deny warranty coverage.

However, if the reason for a parts failure is unclear, a dealer will usually charge you to diagnose the vehicle. If the aftermarket part was not properly installed or a modification led to a component failure, it is within the dealer's right to void the warranty for that part, and you will have to pay for the repairs out of pocket. If the aftermarket parts had nothing to do with the repairs in question, you will be refunded the fee for the diagnosis.

If you have any modification done correctly it will not void your warranty. But for example say you add illuminated door sills and you splice into your illuminated entry circuit. You didn’t use an inline fuse and you end up burning out the the circuit now when the dealer checks it out and finds the cause they will make you pay for a diagnostic fee and for parts and labor on this repair. But on the same visit your flux capacitor stopped fluxing which was totally unrelated they must honor that repair since they can’t prove that your door splice had anything to do with that.
