Default JDM grille or L-sportline grille for 99 GS 400

Just wondering where you guys got those grilles at.. I really don't want to spend a alot of money because i just got the GS yesterday so pockets kinda empty... Do they come painted already? I like the look of those because they don't have the lines like the factory grille does. The other one looks clean and smooth.

No, they do not come painted. If you want a prepainted grill get the LTuned or buy 2nd hand.

If you want an open mesh grille go with the TRD grille. It comes painted already and it matches ok, not perfect. I had mine painted when I had the kit put on.

what color do you have? some grilles can be bought in perfect condition second hand at 1/2 price. just if you have a rarer color on here, i.e. mine, good luck.

not too rare, couple have come up before in the classifieds if youre patient. if not Luxury Motorworks is blowing out L-Tuned grills, unpainted, with mesh for like 75 bucks. W/out mesh for like 60 bucks. not going to beat that. you can get it painted for CHEAP too. fitment on the grille is AWESOME. its basically made by lexus anyway so you can be assured of quality.

pretty much every other grill goes for around 280-350 unpainted. buy at your own risk. some fit some dont.
