Default F SPORT Front Grille Logo question

I would like to replace the front grille on my GS 350 Non F Sport with the F Sport front grille and was wondering if someone can tell me if the L logo on the front is incorporated into the grille like it is on my luxury model or if it is separate and you could run the grille without the logo. By that I mean is it all grille behind where the L is located and not just a hole or flat oval area? Thank you for any responses.

It's incorporated into the grill. You will need to remove your old lexus emblem and put it into the new one.

I thought it was just an emblem, held in by a pin with a keeper... a seperate part from the grille itself

That's what I was hoping so I could completely debadge and run it real stealthy. Love the look with just the grille and no logo, not that I have anything against the L, just looks bad a$$ IMO without the L.

I hope the OP understand that just removing the emblem is not going to look good.. there will be an empty flat area where the emblem sits

Once you pop out the "L" logo plastic encasing... You're left with a huge hole...




Best thing to do is transfer it..

That's what I was trying to find out, I knew that the Non F has the L integrated into the grille, but I wasn't sure if on the F Sport grille it was also integrated or if the L was a separate piece and just attached over a complete grill underneath with a snap pin set up. I'm starting to believe it is an oval or hole behind it like on the Non F models. Oh well was just hoping to be able to put on the F Sport grille with out any logo up front.

This picture is for the Non F which I already have and am aware that it has a hole behind it, but I haven't seen what the f Sport one is like behind it as it looks like it is mounted different than the Non F that I have.

It's EXACTLY the same hole..... (I know which picture I used)

The F-Sport Grille uses the same EXACT encased "L"..
