Raising this question because I'm considering buying a used LX and found an oddity in a online listing.

One appearance refresh on the LX came in 2013, the grill went from

to

I think. However, I've found a 2011 LX for sale and all the dealership photos for that 2011 show what I think is the grill that was not available until 2013. I ran the listed VIN on the Lexus Owners page to see the specs, and it does confirm that VIN is for a 2011. Dealership says photos are correct and that it has no wrecks - do you think it was wrecked and someone put a 2013 grill on a 2011 (if that's even possible), or did some LX's have that new grill prior to the 2013 model year based on when they were built? This 2011 LX was built March 2011.
 
Link to the listing?

Edit: never mind, I found it.

The rear is definitely a 2011 (chrome goes all the way around the tail lights), but yes, front looks like 13+ (Headlights with led DRL and new chrome).
Also looks like it has some sort of lower body kit.... I know they didn't produce 2012 due to the tsunami, but my guess is someone swapped it all out.
