Has anybody seen the new 2010 GS450h? I am liking the new grille and tail lights ... wondering if anybody has swapped over to these ... or are planning to do so ... wondering about grille fitment.

 

do you know how much those parts cost ? 2 arms and 2 legs .

 

I have checked on the grill at the local dealer. It is extremely expensive as it comes with built-in radar. The guy didn't see an option to order just the grill.

 

Personally, I'm not feeling the lights or grille.

 

I was wondering why I have not seen this thread yet... I knew it's coming & here it comes.

I don't think any GS has done this swap yet and don't think anyone is going to buy brand new 2010 GS450h tail lights and grille just to swap them. Maybe you can be the first!

 

Didn't some folks in Japan do the grille swap. Remember seeing the hybrid grille on a GS without signal mirror.

 

Do you remember where that might have been posted, I would love to take a look at some pix / check fitment before ordering from Sewell.

New grille is quite steep ... is comprised of 3 separate parts:

Grille Moulding: 52711-30250 - List Price: $ 171.32
Grille: 53111-30C80 - List Price: $ 294.30
Emblem: 90975-02117 - List Price: $232.62

TOTAL COST: $698.34 + shipping

Lexus of Pembroke Pines wants $464 shipped, however this is still very steep.


Also, after looking at my 2007 Grille, there appears to be a chrome piece on the 2008 & up that extends into the parking lights/high beams ... which is not on my vehicle.


I will be doing some research to see if I can just purchase the Grille, and reuse my existing moulding & emblem .... once I know more, I will re-post.

 

Same here...not feeling it.

 

I love the new tail lights. But wouldn't pay the money to change unless someone wanted to do a free swap.

 

if i had those tails i would offer a free swap

 

The 08+ has different front end so you need to swap the bumper too.

 

I'd pass on both of them. For a Grill, I'd rather get the Prussian Blue or Aimgain..

 

Not a fan of those hybrid addons by Lexus, they make the car look like its from a Sci-Fi movie. I think 06 - 08 GSh look better. Plus, there are much better looking aftermarket grills.

 

Not that many good ones for the 08+ bumper.

 

DITTO !!!
