Default 2016 Lexus GS Front End Conversion

First post. Have a 2013 Lexus GS 350 and would like to know if anyone asked if the 2016 Lexus GS F conversion is available and the cost. Live in the Bay Area - Fremont and would like to know if anyone recommends a authorized Lexus or good body shop to perform such a task.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Putting the cart WAY before the horse here. The GS-F hasn't even been officially unveiled yet, let alone even gone on sale. It will be months and months and months before anybody has any idea if this will be possible and at what cost.

2016 isn't out yet. Give it at least another year or two. The GS F is a limited production car so the parts will be very limited compared to the mass produced GS 350. But eBay might have some aftermarket bumpers like they do the ISF. But aftermarket fitment is always bad and u'll probably screw up the car by doing so.

Pretty sure the conversion will be expensive in any case from the lights to the whole front bumper not including payment. As others have said you should really wait for car to be shown at 8AM EST.

I'd actually more interested in putting the 13-15 GS350 F-Sport grill on the GS-F.

I'm sure it would be a total PITA tho.

Off the top of my head, it's probably going to take a new front bumper cover, new hood, new fenders and new headlights. Plus movement of the parking sensors, headlight washers, and cooling ducts that push air through to the brakes and engine.

I would scratch that off ur list if I were u, thats lots off modification, nothing will align, and if u look at GSF which just got released today, u will see the bumper is completely different and the 2016 I heard might look similar , like having the spindle grill on it.
