Default I Need CL Memebers Help ASAP to make my decision

I have been a CL member since 2005 but owned 2003 GS, my car got totaled couple month ago so I got 07 GS 350. I got into car accident w/ my 07 GS about month ago, now I'm fixing it all I have left to put on is new bumper and new grill, I like 08+ bumper and the way grill looks....... I know this question has be posted previously, but I want to know if I buy 08 bumper and grill will it fit without any problem on my 07 GS, Do I need a new fog lights? headlight?, I know some members has done it and if there is a picture I would appreciate..... I need to know this Info ASAP, cuz Monday body shop is going to put the bumper in they found both 07 & 08 but they are waiting for my final decision, please let me know what should I do, if it's only swap I'll do it but if there is other things has to be done then I don't know .... Thanks in advanced..

Did you consider searching for this information, especially since you say that you know this question has been asked previously (repeatedly)?

New bumper requires new bezel and grille.

I think as long as they are both replaced it should fit. I think the wisest thing for you to do would be to simply call your body shop. They will answer the question faster anyway

I have done the research and overall they said it's a just a swap and that's all but last night when I was searching some were saying 08+ is wider so that's the reason I did post this again..... Thanks for the info.....

I'm replacing them both as brand new but want to make sure otherwise didn't want to spend money after it didn't fit then buy 07.... I called them they didn't know I called Lexus dealer they couldn't answer my questions....

Two accidents in two months resulting in significant damage?! Whether or not at fault, tell me what part of California you live in so I can avoid the area.

Now to your question,...don't get your final information here. You may be misinformed and then $crewed. Your neighborhood (authorized) Lexus repair shop is who you should be asking. In fact, your body shop should have the answer (unless those guys have to be back "indoors" between 7PM - 7AM).
