Default Any Idea where I can find this grille
I am looking for the grille shown here:
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2222
Basically its just stock grille style, but in chrome. I used to have the stock grille with chrome plastic strips. However, the plastic slats are wearing down and they didn't look so good anymore so I pulled them off.

Are you looking for 98-00 specifically, or would 01-05 be good. The difference being the emblem is bigger on the 01-05. Also, you can get aftermarket or Toyota OEM one.

Well its kinda hard to get something that has been discontinued from the manufacture... but a little searching first usually helps...

I love how they don't have it in stock since it's discontinued and they listed the price right under $10,000! hahahah

Find yourself a sport design grill or chrome your 98-00 or 01-05 grill (see DIY section).

Look in the DIY section regarding stripping paint on the grill. From the info there, this GS grill is chrome underneath the black paint. When you strip off the paint you'll have a chrome grill. A $4.00 DIY. From the pictures, they look very good and seems like very easy to do. I plan to do it soon.

Thanks for all the input. And yeah, the black paint is already chipping off my current grill so I might just go DIY and strip the rest of the paint off.
