Question where can I find?

Meguiars has been running the same ad in the back of Motor Trend & Road & Track magazines for some time now. It features a dark blue Lexus GS with an aftermarket chrome grill.

Does anyone know who makes that grill and where I can purchase one?

Post take another look at the ad

I am aware that the stock grill can be easily chromed. Simply buy a gallon of acetone and dip the grill in it. The paint will come off and the entire stock grill will be chrome. I've seen a few GS's that have done it. It's a definite improvement.

The GS in the Meguiars ad is NOT a stock grill. Take another look. I'm trying to identify that grill and where I can buy one.

Thanks

Does it look like a Mercedes Benz Grill or something like that?

Default Grill

The Meguiar's grill looks photoshopped to me, so that they wouldn't show the "L" on the front of the Lexus (to avoid any issue with using the Lexus for their product no endorsement from Lexus and such) There are similar grills like that the TTE and TRD for example, but they are both done in black mesh. THe chrome mesh in that picture IMHO is not a good look.
