well, after i let it sit for 20 mins, i high pressure hosed it off then wash alll the sticky substance that still remains on the grille with a cotton cloth

do you drench it in the stripper gel? i think ima take it off and do it again..but dont want to risk f-ing up the chrome for letting it sit too long..so it comes right off after waiting that long? and wipes off easily?

AYEmike

NO DO NOT DRENCH IT, that will melt the plastic grille. just let it sit covered in gel remover for 20 mins then high pressure hose it , then wipe it clean, wipe little black marks thats still on there off

i will probably have a second go at this to take off the rest of the residue..looks good from a far..but up close u can see all the paint that dint really get stripped in between the grill

AYEmike

haha yeah, dont worry about that, only real gs-ers would notice

4play4dr

haha..its not really about other people noticing..its more for myself..its lil things like that that jus bug me to know its there..but as of right now..its not a high priority

i should have been more careful removing the paint, i didnt want to remove the black from the two chunk pieces on each side of the grille

can this be done with the 2007 GS u think?? feels like plastic...thanks

AYEmike

possibly, butt i wouldnt do it, lexus replacements DO get expensive and since its an 07 gs, i personally wouldnt do it. BUT its up to you

Man O Man why did I bump into this topic,well you know whats next I had to try it since I am a sucka for chrome grills.I did everything as instructed by GATO but on my 98 grill there was some white residue which was endless to remove from inside the the spaces on grill, so I had to bust out the airbrush when all else fails with elbow juice, I ended up airbrushing white area's with light transparent gray.I am truly satisfied with end product, I hope this is helpful for peeps with 98 GS that had residue left over.

Again where are you going to find a Lexus chrome Grill for $7.00 dollars,

Thanks GATO.........
