That is a SWEET lambo kit for the Z! If I had that car, I would totally do that.

BTW, how much do lambo kits usually cost? I think this was discussed here before...

Default Grills

Grillcraft.com makes grills.....but I dont think they make them for Lexus.

The grill on the Lexus is part of the aftermarket grill....but Im thinking you can custom-make them yourself with grill screens secured from behind the grill or front bumper.

You can pickup some grill screens at any hardware store...cut to size and secure with screws with tabs...pretty simple mod...but time consuming.

You guys want to see a real nice grille, Do a search for Yankees Diva's grille.

She got the L-Tuned grille with the mesh (not actually mesh on this grille, but you know what i mean) portions chromed. It looks really elegant.

Nice pic. Plus, I never get tired of looking at your headlight conversion.

still no clue on where to get this

hardware store only sells the ones that all the ricers have, and grillcraft only makes them for certain cars

any other ideas?

CamRen,
I believe the one on the Z is a Street Scene grille. I just put one on my sister's Z and it looks like that one. I got it from www.stillen .com I think $130 chrome and $110 brushed. The grille might be tall enough to use on your gille.
