Grille
Anyone know of an aftermarket company that makes replacement grilles for my gen ES300?
My grille is cracked, and I plan on repainting my hood this summer seeing that there are so many rock chips that i had to cover it all up with a front end mask... EH
But anyways I was thinking like a billet or sweet chrome girlle would be a nice addition!

Did you check out the grille on the two cars on the first pic from the Japanese meet? It looked like it was black aluminum with a chrome trim strip around the border, like the newer ES.
Not sure if anybody imports them to the US, though. I've got a couple of tiny cracks on my grille, too, and had been looking for aftermarket alternatives, with little luck.

You can try a customization shop....
A friend of mine (97 LS400) also had a damaged grill so he had a shop make him a chrome billet grille which matched his 21 inch chromes
I also had a custom billet/mesh backed grille for the lower grill on my ES, but within 2 weeks it was damaged by a 'flying rock' courtesty of the semi-trailer ahead of me.

The ES is indeed known as the Windom in Japan. The grille that at least of couple of us here are interested in is in the first picture of the Japanese meet pictures, it has black (appears to be metal) slats, with a chrome border, for the 1996 models.

Sorry, should have been more specific, it's the first pic in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=75750
The model number for the 94-96 is the MCV10 (92-93 VCV10), I don't know if that means it's the Windom 10. The MCV20 were the 97-01 models. Also, what does the "G" stand for in Windom 3.0 G? I've always wondered that, and I noticed the new Harrier is the 300 G.

oh okay......... I looked at the wrong meet in Japan. I will check for you and see who makes this one and get a price. It looks like a billet grill and the inside was painted black. I will also check and see what others they make with prices.
Yours must be the Windom 10
The Harriers are nice I would like to have one. I will ask what the "G" stands for the Windom car, maybe it means the "G" spot. LOL

Today I spend alot of time going over the VIP mags and VIP parts Catalogs that I have. Not much is advertised on the Windom. There are about 10 diffrent cars here that fall under the catagory VIP your is probably more of a racing (speed) car.
The only one I found was made by tradition.......... www.traditional-jp.co.jp.
I havent looked at the web page to see if it shows the grill. Going for Y35000.
Its nothing like a billet grill. Can one of you guys post a picture or your stock grill for me. So when Im looking I know thats not what you all want.
I did find a cool looking grill for the windom 20 made by Exclusive. Its like the picture of the one you all want but its trim is the color of the car and the middle is black. For all I know it might be a stock one that company makes for your car. Thats why I need to see a picture.
"G" stand for the better of the two cars they make. Example 1995 G 3.0 then the other one is 1995 X 3.0 it goes for the Harrier also.
If you all really want a grill you should start searching the web using the japanese translator.

After you find something you want let me know........ Sorry I know more about the LS.
