Thumbs up PICS: TRD Grille - Body Color Matched Trim

I picked up my car today from the body shop. I'm pretty happy with the work.

They pretty much did the paint and install of the grill for free since they already had time an materials involved in the repair.

I drove it straight from the body shop to my dealer down the road to have my LTuned Sus and Steering ECU installed tomorrow, so I got a few shots of the grill without the 'L' I'll be installing tomorrow.

I'll post comparison pics here when availbale, probably tomorrow.

FIT: Good and tight; its sturdy too; good quality / finish

Enjoy

Actually, the TRD only comes in the CF finish - I had the bodyshop repaint it; looks OEM though!

Dexter,

Are you going to put the "L" emblem on the grill or keep it bare?

BTW, this JDM grill also comes prepainted in factory white, black or silver.

Default TRD Grille

Hello I also have the grille on my pearl white gs400 and I really love it. But Dexter to be honest the only thing I cant stand is that you cann see of all of the bs that is behind the grille, it's very visible, dont you think?

The grille looks very tight on your car!
