2015 GS 350 Grille swap FSport
Did a grille swap. Removing the old grille was more difficult then I expected and I don't know if it was worth the time or money. I might switch it back. What do you guys think?

The reason I think youre not satisfied with the results is that you have to switch the bottom grille as well
that being said, allow me to be a lil bit of a hater here but i am not a fan of that bumper, too much going on..the headlight washers, the chrome surround on fogs, the small black pieces next to fogs, the bottom shape of the bumper...no..just no
Would also suggest a lip, would be a huge upgrade

I considered doing the bottom but I don't want to go through the headache of it. I like the fog lights and the idea of adding a lip is good... But, it's a lease I don't want to put too much money into a car that is only mine for a few years and think it I put a lip I would just get scratches on the bottom of it while going in and out of underground parking lots

I did it myself. I bought the grille from I for on the forums. He also helped me with figuring out how to take it apart. Thanks man. The blacked out look good before the swap. I think cause the grill isn't really black it's like a grey. Jess was the bottom part hard to put on? And did u have to remove the bumper?

You only had to black out the bumper. Period. This would give the appearance of one integrated and bold looking mouth.
Now that you have switched to the F Sport upper grill, you need to match that by changing to the F Sport lower grill as well.
Me thinks best switch back to the original luxury upper and lower horizontal grills because, the original upper and lower horizontal grills will match the horizontal grills in the two brake cooling ducts.
Big Tip - I wish you had not painted the lower lip black, because the white color-coded lip would have added some nice "contrast".
Is it possible to remove the black-out treatment from the lower lip below the lower grill?
Or is it possible to paint the lower lip white like the two examples below?

This was the bumper before I changed the grill. The blacked out part worked perfect. I seen the lower grill for 215 but think I might keep it like this. The Infiniti Q50 has a mesh upper and straight lower grill so I don't see why it's wrong here lol
