Yea man, as soon as I saw it for sale in the vendor section I was immediately sold, especially with a black GS.

IMO, most of the aftermarket grilles cheapin the look of the GS. Even the JP grille, although VERY nice, makes the front of the GS look more like a debaged Benzo. I really liked the shape and design of the stock 01+ grille, and when the black chrome grille came out, that was it. I like flossing the trademark "L" in the front end as well. Its very understated, yet overstated, if that makes any sense at all.

Also, I was thinking about keeping the black chrome emblem and changing all my rear emblems to black chrome, but I like how the silver emblem "POPS" out of the black chrome, plus it matches up my Lexus license plates more. If I had smoked or SD headlights, I would have opted for the black chrome emblem. But I think the silver "L" emblem flows better with my theme.

You guys need to see this grille in real life, its beautiful how the black chrome shines at night against the contrast of the black paint and silver emblem and HID's.

I'll try and see if I can get some nightshots up during this President's Day weekend.

Thanks man, yea the TTE is definitely the best add on save a full bumper replacement. If I WAS to get a full kit, it would be the JP kit or the Wald Executive. Maybe later down the line, not enuff bread rite now

I'm glad I can help motivate. Just make sure you allocate your funds in cash and dont max out that credit card.

I'm running TEIN Comfort Sport Version II coilovers. I've had my mechanic crank them as low as possible while still maintaining stock camber and toe. It will still drop substantially more. I'm debating whether or not to just slam it.

I might just do it when i get my EDFC installed.
