Man if I had the time and patience! I will literally break all the clips, great vid. I didn't know it was this complicated for a grill, sheesh! Great vid fr!

Great video. Bought the same grill off ebay a few years ago and finally got around to doing the job. The hard part is getting the grill separated from the chrome trim without breaking any tabs. Mission accomplished but it was a pain and took every bit of 3 hours. RX looks awesome though, worth it if you have the tools and inclination.

Great video. We are doing this right now and the hardest part IS getting the grill off the bottom of the bumper to install the new grill. We were able to remove it from the top, but the bottom won't budge. Did you have this problem and if so, any recommendations? TYIA

Thanks, nut I m not sure if I can do it,

The OEM part No. is 53111-OE190. It is just one part. You commented to some one below that there is an upper grill and lower grill. Is there another part that you used??? Thank you

Thanks for this video. I am wanting to do the same on my 2016. The link to eBay no longer works, has anyone else been able to find a kit for upper and lower?

Bro, this is way more labor intensive than I thought it would be. I have the same car and wanted to install the F Sport grille as well. How much do you think the labor would be if I brought the grille and had a shop do it???

I'm so glad I found your video!!! I've been wanting to do this for a while. However, I'm going to try to do a full conversion with the lip as well. I'm trying to go the OEM way, but it's pretty expensive. Apparently, I need 11 parts that are roughly $2k all together. Did you have any issues with the sensors? I have the luxury package on my 2017, so I would need the grill that has the camera hole also.

The sensors were pretty simple, you just have to remove an extra bracket and move them a bit. Once you get into you will see. I think I mentioned it in the video. As far as the camera grille it's available from what I know. Best of luck on the mod.

The reason you're having that problem is that you used OEM F sport grille parts and the OEM lower won't work on a non F sport front end. The F sport lip hides that gap you're referring to. You need an aftermarket grille that looks like the OEM F sport grille, but is made for a standard front end. Hopefully that makes sense.
