I’m interested in opinions (I know what I like) of this “PhotoDeluxed” chop job on the front of my white GS. I’m not very good at this yet so excuse any rough edges.

Default Current look

First shot shows stock grille with leading edge of slats “chromed” and stock lower bumper “grille”. This is the way it looks now. “Chromed” grille is only mod.

Default Option B

Second shot shows the stock grille with stock black slats and lower “grille” removed. This is currently being done by another member and I haven’t seen his results yet. May need some stiffening mesh back in it?

How about an L-sportline or TTE grill with the Lexus emblem,that would look tight, as well as removing the bottom grill, but what are you planning on putting in its place, you are not going to leave it open are you? maybe the same type mesh they put in the Lsportline and TTE grills would suffice down there, anyway good luck and post your results!

The L-sportline would look good. That other guy's lower bumper looks nice for a DIY, but haven't seen the pics yet either with the mesh in it.

I don't like the look of the second picture it looks like a standerd BMW 540i front bumper, even if there was a front lip spoiler. Just my opinion!. Im waiting for my L-sportsline bumper that is on it's way.

If you had a TTE or Greddy lip on the blacked out one it'll look great IMO...
