Default Anone seen this front grill before??

I found this front grill(cover) and thought it might be worth trying for $30. Your thoughts? Anyone have one of these??

That grill looks nice, I'm gonna buy one right now. MV20 check your PM. Why does it say its only 28.95 but when you click on the link to purchase it, it comes up at $39? Something shady here, anyone purchase from these people before?

If the white ES pictured is indeed a 1998, then they changed the bumper out to the 00-01 style as well...

Ok, I just purchased this grill. If you click on the shoping cart next to the price it comes up as $28.95 with free shipping. As soon as I get it and install it I will post some pics for you all.

Let me know how it looks when you get it. I'll most likely order one, but I'm anxious to hear some feedback!

Thanks.

im a little suspicious about this one. i have a 98 and it sure doesnt look like the one in the pic. as a matter of fact, i wished my car looked like that! i inquired about 2001-up grille from a seller in ebay and he said that grill is too big to fit on the hood of the 97-up. i know of only one person who has been able to do that install. check out his cardomain "97windom" although he no longer posts pics of his car. maybe you can contact him or something. my grille is cracked so im planning to get a new one. the dealer is charging $125 which is too much. good luck to those who already purchased one. if it works out, im definitely going to get one!

I wonder if you can take some acetone and take off the black on the grill like we do on the GS?

That site is retarded. It says Application 1992-2001 All Lexus ES series, then Note: Won't fit with Lexus ES flat style grills.

As far as I know, all 92-96 series are flat style like the pic in the link.

Plus, the '92-'94 has 3 inner slabs in the grille, while the '95-'96 has just 2 slabs.
