Default Bumper grille

Hello I’m new here and I was wondering if anyone would know the answer to my question? I have a 2019 is300(3.5 v6 version) and I am partial to the non f-sport bumper but want to know if it is possible or if anyone’s done a swap of the mesh grille onto the bumper. In the case that’s it’s simply not possible to do that would anyone know if a swap to a standard f-sport bumper would work as well?

Yes, taking an F Sport grille off and putting a base model grille on should be doable. The reverse has been done before - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...rt-grille.html

I couldn’t find it in that thread but I was wondering if you knew if a direct swap would work either the same screw points or would it need tweaks for different screw locations?

I've done it, the only tweaking you have to do is for the faux grilles, the bumper has to get cut (it's pre-marked).
