Default Opinion on GS Grilles?

Hey All,

time for a new mod so I'm thinking of chroming my whole grille on my PDW '02 GS430
OR
get a new grille.

Y'all have any thoughts on what looks best on a Pearl Diamond White/Crystal White GS?

Pics appreciated.

I'm a big fan of the L-Sportline and L-tuned grills. Check out Lexis11 and lexusondubs to see those grills on a PDW GS.

With that color I would say the L-Tuned if you can find one. Lsportline is nice too with the added "L"

Although I have the Veilside now, I prefer the L-tuned because of the single bar and the awesome mesh.

Those considering the Veilside should be aware that it does NOT come with any mesh and is wide open.... when looking at it straight on it looks like crap IMO because you see exposed horns, radiator, etc. You can of course (what I had done) get some mesh and cover the back of the VS grill, but its a bit awkward due to the hood latch which requires a slit to be cut in the mesh.


Veilside (with custom mesh)


L-Tuned


Different hood / bumpers too, but you get the idea.
