Hi
I got 2011 CT200h sports luxury, I live in Australia and have access to a 2020 F-sport + enhancement 1 - front and rear bumpers from the Lexus dealer here.
Would the these front and rear bumpers fit my 2011 car?
Also, any advice would help please.
I am a noob and don't want to spend money buying it when it doesn't fit, the dealer said no refunds

Yes, it can all be swapped over, as long as you get all the pieces.

First, like Tobias said the 2020 bumpers are interchangable with your original ones.

Second, WOW. Those look amazing. Wish we had those here in the states. I'm trying to do something similar but with a 2014 F-sport facelift and it isnt coming out to less than $850 USD for everything before paint matching the new pieces. Hard to find CTs in junkyards (at least near me) as well.

Anyway, if you're looking to save a few bucks, these forums are a great resource to utilize if you want to put them on yourself. Keep us updated.

 

[Rafal]

Thanks guys.

Operator Chan - I want to ask you where did you find the complete front bumper unpainted for 850USD? I live in Sydney Australia and might get it.

BBy the way there is a website called lexusboutique. net
Maybe you can try that

So I got that price mainly by hunting around on ebay and CARiD.
All parts here are from the 14-17 F-sport model range.
Bumper cover F-sport, no headlamp washer - CARiD - $286.09
Jack port covers L & R - Ebay, Left & Right - $47.80
Upper grille - Ebay- $133.73
Upper grille molding - Ebay - $81.30
Lower grille - CARiD- $118.01
Lower grille molding - Ebay - $140.00

Optionally, if you need a new front emblem:
This should fit.

So all in all, the very basics of what you need for a facelift total up to $806.93 which does not include shipping or if you need replacement supporting parts such as mounting brackets or something, so all in all not really under $850.
Sometimes a better deal on a part will come around and be cheaper than everything else, so take that total cost with a grain of salt.

Edit: I checked out that Lexusboutique site you talked about. Seems like they just sell the accessories that you could get at the dealership which is fine if thats what youre looking for. In a similar vein to that, theres also Hybrid PitStop who sells a bunch of aftermarket and "performance" CT parts. I say performance in heavy quotes because I dont think theres a single CT owner who has actually dyno'd their car to see if these mods actually do anything for power. Even I am guilty of doing so. Got an HKS Legamax catback and while the butt dyno says maybe 2-5HP, I cant prove/disprove it. I can hear my engine now though 😁

I don't think so as they look so different & the newer car looks bigger than our model but that's just my opinion I don't know for sure

Just taking a cursory look around the internet, it appears the only major things they changed post-2017 was the front grille and the interior infotainment screen and a few other bits and bobs. If anything, the specs would indicate the 2020 model would be smaller than the 2011 as it weighs ~77lbs (34kg) less.
There wasn't a lot of innovation on the CT ngl. I'd genuinely be surprised if they did change the dimensions for things on the newer models.

Might be worth it checking out rockauto.com. They have everything on just about every car for a significantly low price. I did my 2014 front bumper/grille F sport conversion and found everything really low. However, they are based in the Midwest and depending on the area won't be able to ship.

If you swap out the headlights then you’ll have to redo the wiring or make a jumper harness. I believe that hat if you swap out the tail lights then you’ll also have to swap out the trunk

You can also get a full kit for car-act, but idk if it costs more or less than trying to part it all out. This is only body pieces though, no headlight or taillight assemblies.

and chances are, those are replicas, not original parts. So they probably fit poorly.

Are there any reviews of Car-Act non-OEM products?

Hey! I recently started to help importing CAR-ACT bumpers into NZ, because I had imported their bumpers for the second gen IS and 4th gen GS for my personal cars. I've been really happy with their service and products, so I've just bought a CT bumper as well and they've asked if I can help with importing them into NZ because I've done quite a few now. I'll let you know how the install goes. I assume it should be the easiest install because it's just a facelift designed for the same generation. My 2nd gen IS and 4th gen GS bumpers were aftermarket designs where more work is required to get the fitment right.

The bumper is sitting in my garage and hope to get it on in the next week or so. The good thing about the CAR-ACT bumpers is that they generally come with all the parts you need.

I'll post a review on TURRISMO (TURRISMO - CAR-ACT 2017-2020 F SPORT Front Bumper - Photos, Links, Reviews & Discussion) once I've done the install to see how much work is involved.

Just got my CAR-ACT bumper installed - they fit incredibly well. By far the best fitting bumper I've ever installed because it's based off an OEM-style, as opposed to other styles (like the 2021 IS F SPORT bumper on a CT).

 

[NewShockerGuy]

I love the black smoked chrome upper and lower grill pieces. I ordered mine off japan yahoo auction so I should have them next week according to the tracking. Looks really good on white. Can't wait to put them on in the spring when I do my retrofit.

Thanks for the feedback! Someone had complained about the 2021 IS f-sport bumper not fitting well, which is why I said that. I'm glad to be wrong!

Brother, where did you get the f sport bumper from, please share the link.

 

[MonkeyWrench]

I read this thread a few times. I need a little clarification. If I want to change my existing 2015 bumper to an F-Sport, does that mean I need to order a whole new bumper or can I just replace the grill? I saw this on eBay and I thought it was reasonably priced. I'm a little confused if I can retain my OEM base model bumper or not.

I would assume that you can just change out the grille since you already have the 2014-2017 front bumper

Just the grilles, and fog light bezels.
That ebay link is aftermarket parts, but they should work.
