Resurrecting this older thread to go with the new thread discussion on switching out grills. So does anyone have any more information, tricks they learned. Looks like from reading the bottom will fit but you need to modify it a little, cut some tabs. From what some seem to say they did not need to remove or loosen the bumper to do this which is different from some of the other information I have read. Hope you don't.

It's much easier when you take the bumper off. You compare the original grill to the f-sport and then you'll know exactly what tabs to trim.

I don't remember but I think I ended up trimming something. Again when you install it you will see what tab is not fitting right and needs to be trimmed.

Peasodos - just a quick question - where did you get the grills from? Are those OEM from Lexus? Thanks!
