I do not have my original grill. I sold it to recoup some of the cost of the sport grill. I wonder if the different emblem could be transferred over to the sport grill? The actually grill will fit the dimensions have to be the same even on a PCS car. There is no way lexus made different front fenders and hood dimensions just for a PDS car grill. Here are photos of my 2011 that I switched from your grill to the sport grill.

The grill will 100% fit I did it on my 2011. The issue is that emblem and the PCS system not sure if that will transfer over. Here are photos of before and after on my personal car. Takes about 10 mins to change. It's all one piece.

i believe you can. The emblem is just held by 2 c clips and a screw or so. I had a 2010-2012 sport edition with a regular grill so I bought and swapped out the sport grill.

I think I do remember seeing that when I installed mine as well. So depending on how the PCS sensor is held in it might work.

The bumper cover is the same, they just added ground effects on the bumper for the sport.

in the 13-17 model the whole bumper had to be replaced but not on the 10-12

Default Grille measurement help

If any of you could please provide the three measurements of either grille from 2010-2012 (the inner part as marked by the yellow dots in the pic below), it would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on a grille project and could really use the help. Thank you!

Very much appreciated brother! Hope you got all the info you needed for the swap to the sport grille. I imagine you've been enjoying your LS since you got it. If there is ever anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask (either here on the forum or feel free to PM me).

I believe the radar that has to do with PCS is right behind the grille, so it can scan through the clear badge. I am going to order the sport grill and will try to get it to work. If not, I will just return it.

Were you successful moving the adaptive cruise/PCS logo to the sport grille?

My son is getting the 2010 460L with adaptive/pcs and wants to upgrade the grille.

I didn't swap my grille. I like the look of the brushed silver to be honest.
