Default GS F Front Bumper/Grill Fit? HELP PLS!!!!

Will the GS F front bumper/grill fit the per freshed 13 - 15 Lexu GS350? I have only seen one build thread that installed it, but they also installed the Triple Bean Headlight also.

That's what I was concerned with, if I could use the Original Single projector Headlights still with the GS F Bumper.? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pretty sure there are already a few threads on this but you will need to have a shop fuse together your bumper and a new one or get one of these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/26487414968...3ABFBMzvaK8Mlf

I searched and could not find where anyone did, except for one build but with no info or details about, and they used the Triple Beans also.

Also saw the Ebay one, but sometimes fit of those Ebay ones does not fit real well, and the seller had a not so high ratings. Anyone seen a thread?

Ok I searched again with different key words and found these threads:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...is-bumper.html

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...50-fsport.html

Somehow I think I'm going to try and make this work. I like the GS F aggressive look.

If ur going to use the single projector headlights from the 2016+ then I don't see why it wouldn't fit. 2013-2015 headlights will need some body work though and also the wider fenders.

So the 2013-2015 Single Projector lights are different than the 2016+ Single projector Headlights?

The headlamps on the 2016+ are shaped differently because of the refreshed bumper/DRL/headlamp combo. 2016 on the left image below, you can see the bumper actually separates the DRL and primary housing. The 2013-2015 lamps have a single housing uninterrupted by the bumper:

If you go with the eBay bumpers, you won't need to change your existing 2013-2015 headlamps as they basically took the grille and lower part of the 2016 bumper and molded the top portion to fit the older lights. There is even one that has fogs available: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265391737327

@jgscott happened to see another one online with the eBay GS F style bumper on a pre-refresh:

I was going to go the eBay bumper route, but I think I’m going to do the 16+ GS350 bumper not the GSF

It looks like this was the exact same Ebay Orange color bumper in this link right?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/26539173732...2Cchnl%3Dmkcid

Ok so in this link according to post #42 he could not get it to work because of a big Gap at the hood. I know these Bumpers take some fitting and zip tie, or massaging or whatever, to work but if the shape is off curved and there is hood gap, then that's a big problem. Like the middle part is not curved right and too short/low.

I was about to get it. The only issue I saw until I read this thread and post #42 forward was how I was going to get my 4 Park Sensors in there, but I figured I could make it happen. I really liked that Bumper alot. Funny as it is from how long I owned my G350 Lux, before the 2016 came out I hated that Spidel Grill for years. I always thought it reminded me of a old Train front. Now I love it!!! lol!

See Post #42 and forward.

I saw this online last week while casually browsing (was tryna see how good a deal I got on my 350 I bought last month, lol)

Imo, this looks really bad. That gap between the hood and bumper! When I first saw it I assumed the car was in an accident and the bumper was replaced with a 16+. The paint doesn't even match

Yeah it’s a bit expensive but it fit great. Made the car look newer. I got the front lip to go with it. Thinking of getting some side skirts too but can’t decide on which ones
