Guys thanks alot for you input and pictures i was also in love with the RM Grille from day one but they dont come painted and the fitment i hear is really bad. Now if you have heard otherwise let me know cause i would like to have that look with the Lexus emblem still in there. I just cant decide what look i want if i was to go with the L tuned or TRD there both nice but one doesnt really stand out over there other in looks to me. Does the TRD come with the little TRD plate that goes on the right side of the Grille like i saw on the Orange GS that is for sale now cause i think that gives it some fill for all that opening. And if you do reccomend getting the RM grille is there anyone that sells them painted that are done right and more then likley will fit?

Thanks

Yes, I believe the TRD emblem comes with the grille. Some people just don't attach it. That "Orange GS" is airtrackk's car.

As for the RMM grille, yes the fitment is not great but if you like that look, then you'll have to deal with it. Sorry. As for paint, most aftermarket parts do not come painted. I think the L-Tuned is the only one that comes painted since it is basically an OEM part. Even at that, they only come painted in certain colors. If you want an aftermarket grille (other than L-Tuned or a CF one that you are not planning to paint), you are going to have to paint it.

I believe it is basically the TRD grille painted instead of the fake CF. I think it may be cheaper to get the TRD CF and paint it.

I thought the same thing: that it would look like the TTE without the bar. The TTE grille is actually on top of my list.
