Default 2019 Grill on 2018 ES 350?

I own a 2018 ES 350, and I'm aware that there were some body style changes for the 2019 model. My question is regarding whether the grill dimensions changed w/ the 2019 model, and if not, if anyone is familiar w/ whether a 2019 grill would fit on a 2018 ES 350? I spoke w/ my local Lexus dealership, but he was unsure based on the dimensions of each. If the 2019 grill would not fit the 2018, is anyone aware of a website that sells mesh grills that would cover the entire grill, which would be compatible w/ the 2018 ES 350? Thanks in advance!

Not possible. It would be like trying to fit an Audi grill on a Lexus.

I agree. There is very little likelihood that the mounting points or exact shape would be correct. The only possibility is if someone is making an aftermarket grill that resembles the new design.

Thanks to everyone who replied! I was able to find one on Car-Act that is available to ship, so I’ll likely go with that! Thanks again for the guidance!

Can you post the link to the 7th gen grill that fits the 6th gen? I checked out their site, but could not find such a kit.

Cant wait to see a review! Im interested in the LS style front conversion but shipping was almost as much as the bumper kit.

I'm looking to get their "F-sport" style grill. They just emailed me back saying it would be $290 shipped. Wonder if we get a group buy we can get cheaper.
