you can DIY your grille to be chrome... just do a search and you will see. but if your too lazy, i do have a chrome grille that i did myself that i would be willing to sell if the price is right

yeah you can chrome the stock grill....but to me...the chrome grill matches certain color cars....not feeling the l-tuned grill huh? how about the DSR? well imo it matches the OEM bumper very well since the grill has 2 middle slats and the bumper has 2 middle slats (horizontal)

Why don't you chrome the inside mesh of the L-Tuned grill you might like that look a little better? With the outer color to match the car I think it might be the look your looking for.

here we go again




1- there is a STOCK chrome grill but why pay hundreds when there is chrome hidden underneath the paint.
2- try typing "Diy chrome grill" there should be millions of threads!
3- but there are at least 10 other aftermarket ones- what look do you want?

I can recall the following grilles with chrome (not necessarily fully chrome):

1. DIY
2. OEM Sport Design
3. JP
4. Mercedes-type (can't recall manufacturer)

Not really feeling the vertical grille.. But that is just MY opinion. I think the horizontal ones look cleaner? But that is just me.. Nice car though! I got one just like it.. except its white/ w/ horizontal chrome grille.

How do you attach photos on here? Mine was homemade "home depot" style .. I just had a friend of mine at the local dealership paint it with some chrome paint i got from home depot and clear coat it. But all in all still looks nice. Teach me how to post some pics and I'll post it as soon as i get a chance. But yeah i like the horizontal one better. How many damn grilles you got?!@

I'm in the same boat. My L-Tuned kit will be here on monday but I already have the SD on my car. I'm probably going to switch off since I like both. I know if I ended up selling one or the other I would probably regret it. Oh yeah, I still have the stock one too so that makes 3
