I do not think the IS-C's front bumper look better than the IS sedan's. It must take a lot of enthusiam and money to do this subtle modification!!

Yea i know the chrome bezel part is different. thats why im ordering it. but im saying the insert that goes inside the grill, with the lexus emblem on it is the same. The grills on the IS come in 3 seperate pieces. The chrome bezel, the insert which has the Lexus emblem, and that rubber piece i believe. I just ordered the Chrome bezel part so it'll match with the bumper. The insert with the lexus logo i'll just take from my old on and put it with the IS-C Chrome bezel.

The basic IS 250, 350 & C grill is only 2 pieces.. plus emblem..

Chrome Bezel Surrround & Inner Grill... The "L" emblem goes on with double sided tape.

The only time it will need a 3rd piece is when you have an IS with the Pre-Collision Radar.
The L emblem frame is a seperate 3rd part number. Also, the inner grill is different too.

Picture samples below...

Outer Chrome Bezel & Inner Grill - NO Pre-Collision with basic L emblem





Lexus Inner Grill for Pre-Collision

Enjoy
