Hi guys, I have a 2014 Ct200h Non F-sport. Will a F-sport grille fits the Non F-Sport. I tried to look in this forum but the info was unclear. Thank you.

Hello All,
I wondered the same thing when I purchased my used 2014 CT200H. And I can verify that the grille from and F-Sport does in fact fit perfectly onto a Non-F-Sport Model. I did some investigating and the years 2014-2017 all have the same front bumper grill assembly. The Grilles are compatible here's the proof as I did the conversion myself this summer.
The Bumper DOES NOT have to be replaced... You do in fact have to take off the entire front bumper grille assembly to remove the old grille and insert the F-Sport grille as it requires lot's of tabs, screws and clips. The 2014-2017 CT200H grille consists of Two Separate grilles that need to be purchased to make one complete grille. The top and bottom connect together to create the illusion of one complete piece.

Before
2014 CT200H Before Conversion

AFTER
2014 CT200H After F-Sport Grille Conversion
I will write up a detailed followup in the future of all of the screws, clips and things to watch out for when taking on this task. It is totally doable and worth it in the end!.

Nice!!! Quick question, I'm doing a 2013 to 2014 bumper conversion. Does the top normally come chrome and the bottom matte or can I choose either or? The parts diagram I found doesn't have a choice or chrome or matte.

Mine came originally with a chrome top lip and silver painted bottom lip.. I am not sure if the 2013-2014 Bumper conversion kit comes with an option to choose a bottom chrome lip. I do know that the bottom chrome lip can be purchased separately.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has a Step by step for this install. I’m considering doing this very soon. Also what would be the cheapest place to purchase the f-sport grill. Thanks!

WCan I just purchase the new grills and use all of my old clips? Or does this swap require all new hardware as well?

The lower chrome strip is standard starting with 2016 MY.

As for hardware sorry can't help you there but I don't knnow why they would be different. Try looking up parts diagrams

Interesting, hadn't noticed that.

I have a friend of a friend that works at Lexus in China. He was able to get my friend a China-only headrest pillow for his ES. I'm wondering if he can get me a set of them LEDs!

You can keep the original clips, be very careful not to break them, you can also get some extra ones at your local Autoparts store since most of them are universal Toyota clips just take them with you to compare.

Would you mind sharing where you bought your grille kit or parts from?

I found mine on from some left-over sewell stock and managed to convince someone to ship it to me...you can find it on eBay all day long though. Make sure you buy both the bottom and the top portions.
