Default Grille Conversion

Thinking of switching out the upper grille on my 2015 IS250 base sedan in favor of the F Sport type. Anyone know how much of a project this will be? Do you have to replace the bumper as well?

You'll have to swap out the front bumper cover as the grill shapes are not the same.

this is why i tell people to get the f sport because if you want to convert later its more pricey unless you can find it used try ebay?

it'll be cheaper to get a shop to do a custom grill with similar mesh style if you dont want to change to the f sport bumper
