Careful consideration has been made to insure that we have plenty of each color in stock. However, if this sale is anything like the GFX kit sale, and we run out of colors, we can have more bezels painted for our customers.

Sewell Team - Can you give us an idea of how these grills were prepped prior to painting? Sanded? Primed?

So does that mean if you sell out of a specific color it will be on back order? Hence everyone will get what they want in their desired color?

After speaking with our body shop, I can tell you this:

"The grills are painted to Lexus specification, by a certified Lexus body shop technician. The grills are sanded and prepped to insure the paint properly adheres to the surface. If the grill is not properly prepped, the paint will flake and chip. The grilles are also painted in the two or three stage paint, depending on the color."

Again, careful consideration has been given for our speculation on the number of each color that will need to be made available. It is very seldom we backorder a part. Please don't confuse this sale with the GFX closeout sale to which once a color sold out, that was it. This isn't a closeout - it's just a sale.

You can get the black chrome done for a lot cheaper, I'm in process of having mine done, I'll post results and much more info in a few weeks.

I like this idea. Black pearl would be a nice option to go with the black pearl emblems.

its should be pretty easy. just remove the 4 plastic pins and 1 10mm screw that holds the top of the grille. then just lightly pull it pull straight to toward your chest (do not pull up) there are some tabs on the side that might help unhook the bezel and the inner piece.

When we send out our grilles back to you do we take off our emblems?
