I was looking at a 2009 Pebble Beach today and I noticed the different grille. The horizontal bars were sculpted nicely and looked really good. The Sewell Lexus parts list has two different part numbers for '06-'10 grilles but I don't know which is which. I assume that the more expensive grille is the Pebble Beach edition grill (good guess huh?). I'd also like to assume that either grill will fit my '06. Anyone know if they're interchangeable for sure? Anyone know which part number is which?

It's not only the grill that's different but also the front bumper molding. I think I'll take some close up pictures tomorrow of the two grille treatments and post them.

Yes

The entire front end is different - grill, bumper and headlights. You might be better off looking at aftermarket grills.

+1...Bumper, fog light vents, upper vent, Lexus emblem, headlights, chrome trim under grill, etc are all different on the 2006+. PB was no different than other models.

Mine is a 2006 and when I was looking at the 2009 PB at the dealer I thought the grill was different from mine. Maybe they put something in the cappuccino? I didn't get by the dealer today but next time I'll take my camera.

I'll go take a picture of the front bumper tomorrow morning for ya. I don't think it looks any different though.

I made a post to this thread yesterday with a comparo, but I must not have hit send or something because I don't see it.

Here goes again...

2009 Mercury Metallic base SC and 2009 MM PB Edition. I don't see any difference personally. What are your thoughts???

The lexus model library overview doesn't mention any changes except for the turn signal mirrors and the updated nav system for the 2010 for changes.

of course, artwork, shade, editing and color all are different on the above pics but hopefully seing every other one stacked will give a good comparo.

The chrome trim on the grille is bigger (top to bottom) from what I can tell.

Dang, no need for me to post the pictures now. If I can find another SC430 to park next to, I'll try to take a picture with the two bumpers side by side.

Bon, you were simply misled by the part numbers on sewell site.
On the 06+, sewell lists two different part numbers for the grille as well as the chrome trim.
Believe it or not, sewell lists three part numbers for the 06+ front bumper.

If you exam those part numbers a bit further, you should find one of the two part numbers is actually for the 02-05.
My guess is sewell didn't interpret the 06+ front-end conversion threads correctly and thought all the parts listed above were interchangeable. haha

Then why 3 different part numbers for the 06+ front bumber?

1.02-05
2.02-05 without headlamp washers ( I have never seen one without those in US, mine doesn't have those headlamp washers b/c I had them deleted by a bodyshop.)
3.06-10

Sewell also lists 3 different part numbers for the 06+ headlight, you guys can definitely figure it out.
