Default Non f grille swapped for f-sport type

I have looked thru the forum and have seen many discussions about it, but my question is has it been done?. Has any body put a f-sport spindle grille on a non f-sport? I bought my rc350 in nov of 2017 it Obsidian with playa leather interior. Well last month looking for mods to do to my car I came across one that was same interior and exterior but f-sport and man I loved it. Trading mine in for that car is not an option as I paid cash for my car and wouldnt get close to what I paid and im sure Its cheaper to get wheels and the grille. If anybody would happen to know the part number to the grille the looks grey without fog lights would also be a life saver!

Heres mine


His the one I want mine to look like

The grill and wheels are part of what lured me to the F Sport. I dont have any help for you other than you will find people selling their stock wheels in the classified forum.

i'm 95% sure the F-sport grille will fit the base model. I have thought about doing it but never did. Here is an eBay link for both top and bottom parts of the grille (part number is also on the page): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-RC350...RWO4UN&vxp=mtr

If you're looking for the wheels Hub Cap Haven in Minnesota sells OEM wheels -- they source them from all sorts of places. I purchased a replacement wheel, as well a set of option wheels from this company -- well priced, free shipping in the US.

Here is the link to their wheels for the RC350, they have it in 19x8 and 19x9 sizes. Good luck on the grille!

I investigated the same thing when I was looking to buy my RC but I ended up spending the extra to get the f sport cause I just couldnt get over the grill difference. Seems minor but the f sport grille to me is infinitely better than the base model.

im in to deep to go trade it in. I bought mine cash so if i try to trade it in I'll get raped. I saw a used RCF and went to run numbers and they will only give me 30k for it... I paid 36k(40.5 out the door) in October.
