I know '02 Sport Designs came with chrome grills but what are the differences between all the other ones?

Any differences between the years?
Any differences between GS300's vs GS400/430's?
Any differences between '02 and '03 Sport Designs?

Pics will help

I have an '02 Sport Design and didn't like the chrome grill...it doesn't go with anything on my car so I was looking at picking up one I saw on a GS in the parking lot at my work. I know his is a 01+ by looking at the tailights but his grill was a shiny dark graphite color which I think would look better on my graphite grey GS with black pearl emblems.

I'm trying to trade a TRD style grill sitting in my basement for one of these graphite colored stock grills (see classifieds).

Thanks for the links 1SICKLEX

I did notice however when browsing GS430's on ebay that not all of them had the chrome grill like yours did....I wonder if this was an option or something. My sport design has it and I'm not sure if I'm a fan.

My main wonder was if the darker grill is different from the older GS's (1998-2000) to the newer ones (2001+).

It's a DIY actually. Lexus painted over black over the chrome. So if you want it chrome all you do is strip the paint off the slits.

Or buy the ebay one for 20bucks

I DON'T like the chrome grill. It doesn't match anything on my car...I have a graphite grey sport design with the black pearl badges so the chrome goes ith nothing. I like the graphite colored grill on 2001+ GS's better than the chrome one my car came with.

Who wants to trade?
