The damage is along the bumper and the chrome lining - see attached image.
Would the part 52119-3F935 be all I need to fix the damage?
Also, I could take this as an opportunity to convert the front facia to f-sport. What items would that require?
Any help would be appreciated.
damage on lower end and chrome lining.
@Lexus4lyf That bumper you mentioned in your screenshot will likely work - but will need to be painted (and obviously installed) as most dealers and aftermarket places do not paint the bumpers before shipping.
Maybe a good local body shop can give you a quote.
I'd price-out getting your existing bumper repaired vs getting a new OEM base bumper painted/installed, vs getting a new OEM f-sport bumper painted installed, vs getting an aftermarket bumper installed. I think you'll be in for at least $1000 if you need to buy an OEM F-sport bumper and accompanying grilles.
The body shop might be able to repair the existing bumper for half that cost.
Sorry to see that damage. I happened to order the F-Sport grille replacement parts last night. Here's what you'll need, copied from my order confirmation from Bell Lexus that is running a 15% tax day discount for a few days.
5310130890 - 1 - $ 501.97 - Grille (F-Sport with holes for parking sensors. 5310130880 is the part # without holes for parking sensors.)
5281130020 - 1 - $ 37.88 - Radiator Support Air Duct (to attach to the new garnishes listed below)
5281230020 - 1 - $ 37.88 - Radiator Support Air Duct (to attached to the new garnishes listed below)
5314230150 - 1 - $ 87.45 - Grille (plastic side garnish used on F-Sport)
5314130350 - 1 - $ 87.45 - Grille (plastic side garnish used on F-Sport)
You only really need the first item, the main grille assembly. The remaining four items are for the side grille "garnishes" that differ between the F-Sport and non F-Sport models.
Removal videos if needed. These are not specifically for 2016+ but between both of these, you should have a decent guide:

Thanks for the advice. I was under the impression that the bumper would have to be replaced regardless, even at a local body shop. It's fixing it possible without replacing it? But good to know, I'll definitely ask around.
I completed the grille swap and I wanted to add two notes if doing this as a DIY:
1. If you plan to swap over the "L" emblem, there are one-time use push nuts holding the top on. You will need to cut those off with a rotary cutter and either purchase new push nuts or drill a small hole in the mounting post and use cotter pins and washers/rubber washers to secure the emblem.
2. The non F-Sport bumper will need two additional holes drilled (for an additional mounting point) to mount the lower left and right garnishes. There's a guide on the backside of the bumper that shows where to cut. There appears to be an attachment clip as well, I haven't had a chance to look that up but I used some double sided tape to ensure a secure, permanent fit.
@BMGS any before and after pics of the 2016 grille swap?
I can take some but its nothing special, just a non-Sport before and a F-Sport after, looks like any other example out there. I'll be adding some light tint on the DRLs shortly so I will have a photo once its done that I can post.
Thanks! Ive seen that but it doesn't appeal to me for whatever reason. I'm focused on the rear now, likely GSF tail lamps, let me know if you want my 2016+ tail lamps, they will be up for sale once the GSF ones come in.
