How is the quality of LSportline? Do they fit well? Where could I find the best price? Thanks

Depends on what you are looking for...I have heard numerous comments on the grill stating that it is not an exact fit and some drilling is necessary. As for the body kit, I elect to punt to gsintensive...

RA,

how's going?

most places that carry HART wheels would have lsportline stuff. but personally IMHO, i think a lot of its products are kind of over priced, relatively speaking. if there is something you truly like, you just need to call around and compare.

Actually I'm most interested in their front bumper and maybe side skirts. I know they are overpriced that's why I asked for fellow CL members for help.

yup they're overpriced.

the rear bumper and exhaust is a monopoly, you have to get both of those to look right.

but hey, it does look pretty nice and all.

Urethane quality is pretty nice.

The grill looks like it doesn't match perfectly, like RMM.

What other aftermarket front grill could I choose? I like a clear grill (no bar at the center).

You have I believe, 4 choices of clear grill with mesh...

1) L-Sportline
2) C-One
3) TTE
4) JDM grill from Hiro (the best choice, fit, and comes pre-painted).

All are expensive but choice 4 is still best product money can buy...

grills are not cheap. but as Brent said, i would take the TRD/JDM one anyday-the fit and finish is GOOD.

has anyone seen the fit on the TTE grill? That's the first one i've considered. it has TOYOTA in the name so it should be affiliated with Toyota Europe. Meaning not too bad?


I'll post pics of my grill when I get it in a few days....... but don't buy from them because they gave me too much hassles and alot of stuff didn't come.

AeroTech Japan "Rando" grill. Basically the "barless" grill style like the ones mentioned above. It's strait from Japan.

Globe, would really like to see your pics. I was comparing the TTE with the JDM. I think the TTE has a thicker frame which is flush with the hood, yes? Whereas the the JDM is kinda beveled, right? I would like a thinner frame like some I saw on the lexuscreations gallery. How would you describe the frame of the one you are getting as opposed to the TTE and the JDM?

Yes the TTE grill has fat frames, and it cuts strait in. The JDM/TRD/OEM is kinda beveled. The J/T/O will look bigger than the TTE.



my grill is similar to the TTE grill, the TOP frame is thick. The sides and the bottom frame is alot thinner, and the bottom cuts in at an angle.....

It's hard to explain. I'll show you pictures when I take them soon.

Most likely I will get the TRD/OEM one since it's OEM for the perfect fit.

Does anyone know where I can get a decent deal on Lsportline kit?
