Dex that looks awesome! Maybe you should forward some pics over to Lexus' design team, eh . Dave, how come you didn't go through with this mod too? I'm sure it'd look even better on your BLACK GS.

Thanks guys for all the compliments. This grill on black would be total Vader; I'm trying to sway Dave to do his, but he has the LTuned grill right now which looks great.
I agree, that is is a little flat, but will see how it holds up before I pull the trigger on powdercoating. The PC process can be metallic in finish too.

Right now I like my L-tuned grill a little better, but I might change my mind someday.

Damn you Dex!
Dex,
don't you think I have enough things to do! Now I gotta go out and find paint or powder coat my grille black. Why couldn't you just leave it alone!
J/K It looks great, well I'm not really kidding because I may have to try it.
