Smile Custom Grill for My GS430

recently i got an ideas from another cl member. i decided to put a bigger emblem on my Lexus. I realized new generation's Lexus and Toyota all trend to have a big emblem. So comments are welcome, since i haven't decided yet if i should keep the big emblem like this. My gf said that looks Q, which is actually not what I want.

Biggest L you've seen thus far.

Is that a SportDesign grill? What emblem is that from? LX570?

I think the stock 01+ emblem is perfect on the 2GS. That's too big for my tastes.

Good Idea, However the grille is too small for that size "L".

I agree with Chrispy. Stick with 01 up grille.

I believe it is from a LX or GX. but it almost same size as third g GS's emblem.
maybe little bigger. my elblem size is 6.25 inches width compare to new gs'emlem of 6 inches.

Matches his super large emblem size.

The grill on the 3GS is bigger than the 2GS one. That's why it looks funny.

I was thinking the same thing...

I was thinking about doing that today, but couldnt find where to get it. Is that the same size as the one on the GS3? If it were between the size of the GS2 and the GS3, would be perfect.. either way thats a +1 for unique and you'll be one of few with it! You never know, it may catch on and you can say you were the first!

The 3GS grille looks biggerr, our 2GS grille is shorter.

Imo, I like the normal size "L" on the 01 up 2GS.(it fits better in the grille)

Bottom line; As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
