If I had the black GS i would be all over that thing like white on rice....
Its a nice grill. IMO it would look best on a black GS.

i think that would also look nice on a Green car, with the carbon fibre licence plate thing and the carbon aristo rear quarter garnish

one thing i'd like to know, is it possible to take off the TRD and put on an L?

I think It would look beter on a green GS with Carbon fiber exhaust, and soon to be carbon fiber shifter

This is the same type I was selling for the Altezza, it was a TRD carbon-fiber grille.

I expect as always from TRD a perfect fit, that I can guarantee. No, it's not meant to be painted.
Steve - What does the red text next to TRD on the grill say?

You can take off the logo, the red text says " TRD Sports" on it

Is the "TRD Sports" emblem removeable? Or re-locateable?

nonono I'll eventually get it painted. It's just that now there's this carbon fiber grill, and I wanna see how it looks on a silver car. If it's REALLY THAT GOOD then I might get that and sell my ATJ grill before it's painted.

yea, with a CF hood i think that grill is the only way to go because IMO a CF hood with a painted grill is ugly, since the grill is in a sence part of the hood (it goes up with it doesn't it?)
