I order the bottom one from eBay. It was OEM. Part#53112-303380. It came from a Lexus dealer.

the top grille was aftermarket. From eBay
part #5311130E00

the install was fair. The top grille is an exact fit. But was a little more difficult than the bottom grill which is not an exact fit. You will have to cut a few tabs off on the f sport grill. Even so. It still will not be a perfect fit. I had to do a slight DIY fix to make it fit perfect.

Jess,
Like the blacked out bumper between the grills. I have a 15 my upper grill is like a charcoal? The bottom half is more like a matte black. Did you have the same type of grills? From the photo it looks black but hard to tell with lighting. Did you do a wrap or a plasti dip the bumper? I also saw a sticker that gives it a similar look but not sure if that is permanent.

Thank you

Drew

Is this a Upper and lower grill swap? And/or a complete Bumper swap also?

Looks like just a grill swap - he still has the standard bumper as you can see the fog lights and smaller black garnishes. F-sport bumpers have no fog lights here in the US and a larger garnish:

Fellow member @bendevious's Standard bumper with F-sport grill:


OEM F-Sport bumper (no fogs, slightly different design):

Yes, that's why I was asking just to be sure it was still the Non F Sport Bumper because they said Bumper. Thanks.
