How much did u get it for?

In my opinion, the grill is give and take, depends on the look/theme of your car. On a stock car it will look totally out of place, but on someone like NYaristo's car, it will finish it off.

Doesn't look like a very flush fit, i'd have to say no. Take a bigger picture...of the whole car.

The front grill is a tough one...

Any others with front mods? And I'm not talking about those with the chrome stick on strips. I tried it, looks ok but if your attentive to detail it looks cheap.

I'm also working with a custom manfactures who's trying to make one that works on the 1st Gen. He has the frame/trim and now its a matter of finding the right design. I kinda like the one's for the 1st and 2nd Gen IS300's where its like a mess. Someone in the UK was marketing them and I know a vendor in Florida sells it but for over $400... thats way more than what I'm willing to pay for that part.

ha ha ha lol =]

of course it will be complimented by a humble TTE lip, blitz or erebuni skirts (undecided) and headlight brows. I will post a photochop as soon as I paint my front bumper. I still think it will look ok =]

It looks like it don't fit. It takes away from the car.
