Default What grill is this?

I have been right through the GRILL sticky with no luck. I was told that it is a TRD front grill.

Can anyone confirm, and/or identify this grill please?

Cheers, David

well as stated above... that would be me.

Ok, I just attempted to photoshop this and I'm convinced that this is not for the GS. after resizing to fit my GS model, the proportions were incorrect. This grill is much wider than the GS. I want to say that it may be for the ES.

Interesting. Certainly advertised as a GS300 grill down under. Will check dimensions and fit etc when I go and see it. Will take the trusty camera and post what I find.

Cheers

Where do you see it advertised? Heres a pic of the grille next to the GS grille and you can see the length to with difference. And if I bring down the size to get the length the same, it makes it to 'thin' from top to bottom. But then again, could be an angle problem

or now that I think of it, it could be for the 3GS

Yup, it must be for the 3GS. I just did a quick chop and it shrunk just to size of the 3GS

Cool, thanks. Would have been an interesting look - totally different from anything seen so far.

Can you please do one more pic with the grill covering the original - just to get an idea?

Cheers

Thanks for this. It would have certainly been something totally different! Bear in mind however that the grill in the original pic was leaning against a brick wall, and angled backwards.

Could I trouble you to do one more pic please - with the new grill covering the original. It would be interesting to see what it could look like.

Cheers, David

Ok, nothing special, done quickly. I have one with it on the 2GS that I had to stretch and skew to fit. Then I have one of the 3GS which fit perfectly:
