Hi I'm new here and I wanted to ask what grille I can use on my car. I have a 2016 is300h sport (not fsport). Been looking at ebay and I found some f sport grille for 250 and 350 but it's the same right? Then you have these new grilles from 2018 that has changed a little from the 2016 version.

Welcome!

If you want to swap on an F Sport grille, do be advised that the whole front bumper also needs to be swapped rather than just the grille insert. Here's a really good thread, in my opinion, on how to do so: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...onversion.html

As far as 250 and 350 models, it should not make a difference. The grill will be identical between those models.

Thanks for your anser, wow that seems like a lot of hassle? Is that really something you have to do? Is it because they look differently?

They are not shaped the same, sadly. I haven't had to do this conversion as I have an F Sport already, but you might hit up the thread author about that.

But is that all sport grilles or is it only the new models? The 2017 and 2018 has a new sport grille. A 2016 F sport doesn't fit on a 2016 sport?

Well here in America was have only "base" and "F Sport" grille designs. The F Sport is like this:



Here's the "base" one:



As you can see, the grille is shaped differently especially towards the lower end.

Technically there are 2 F Sport grills in the US because of the facelift.

OP has a 2016.

Flash5

Yeah but couldn’t he technically convert to the facelift version?

arentz07

Sure? But then they'd also need new headlights, right?
