Will a sport grille fit my non sport LS?
Hi all, I have a 2010 LS460L, and was wondering if it is possible to put the sport grille in. My car has PCS and radar cruise, so it has the different badge. Does anyone know if they made the sport package car available with pcs/radar?
First picture is the sport grille, second pic is my car.

I have a 2010 Sport with radar cruise. Although I’m unsure if it’s PCS, I am aware that there is a red brake light I get on my dash when a car in front abruptly brakes or gets too close while I drive, it lights up. I checked samples of PCS light on dash and it is different from that.

Are you sure you have the radar cruise and not just the adaptive cruise? I might be confusing some of the names since I’m coming from a LS430, but to tell if you have the radar option the grill badge will be enclosed in plastic and not exposed. Look under the dash above the gas pedal and you can see if you have PCS, there is a button to turn it off.

The grille should fit no problem

I dont think the LS Sport edition had the PCS system. Moreover, I believe some members on here say that the sport bumper wont fit. I'm not sure if anyone tried it.
2010-2012 will take both sport and regular grills but I don’t think you can update from 2007-2009 with the newer grill.

That's an interesting question. What exactly is going on behind the different badge? Perhaps if you dig in there and see? I'm curious to know if the different badge actually does something or is just a cometic feature to denote the PCS/ Radar package. I have a 2011 non-PCS/radar cruise and I switched out the same stock grill you have with the sport grill. Bought it new from Bell Lexus off ebay in Arizona. Changed the whole look of the car I love it.

I thought the same but for the 2013+ LS, there is a unit that sits about 5” behind the emblem that is the radar or millimeter wave itself. Using the $400 OEM emblem is just plastic that allows the waves to pass through it. There was absolutely nothing special or anything built into the emblem.

Mine is all gloss plastic with a lexus logo inside. Not like the old sport edition emblem with the logo standing out. Only thing I could think of is that the Lexus logo inside is shiny like chrome but has no chromium to block the radar or waves??
