Hey Chuck. How do you think that chrome SD grill would look on alpine silver? My stock grill isn't looking so good, and I'm looking for a change that would pretty much retain the stock look. Does anyone have any pix? What did that run you? About $150, right?

I think it would look good. SD grills look(are) very factory and $150 is about right. Only someone who knows Lexus' would know it's not stock.

BTW-Thanks all for the compliments.

I think it looks great on your car, but you have a dark color, and I'm concerned that it won't look so hot on silver because there won't be any contrast. Do the 01+ GS430s come stock with a chrome grill?

I may be wrong, but I think KVA has a silver SD GS300. I think he's got black chrome emblems. Those look real good on silver. You could rebadge and put a black chrome L on the grill. I think that's how they come on the SD cars

The SD grill is a nice touch.

Without your warning and sig, I thought it is a black car!!
Is Midnight Pine Pearl really that dark in person?
Thanks -Yah, my paint looks black in person unless it's really getting alot of light.

Most people think it's black

Nope. They come with the same grille as the SD (different shape slats than the 98-00) but without the chrome. You can always to the DIY chrome method on the 01+ grille to mimic the SD.
