Default Kazz Sports overlay grill?

I found this Kazz-Sports overlay "grill" in the lextasy.com website.

It's $500 and it's some kind of add on grill. I was hoping Kazz-Sports would
make a real grill. Seems like people are having problems building grills for
this car... Is this a physical problem with the way the grill is done???

I like the idea of the horizontal bars though...

I wondered that myself. Looks cheap. Lextasy claims it's from Kazz.

Not to mention the fact that it would take about 5 seconds to steal.

Lextasy supposedly will also sell this element 114 grill. It says
it's $25000. Any takers?

well the fact that it's on lextasy.com already puts a lot of doubt to me, i probably trust next to nothing about what they claim.

and that's why i wonder if kazz themselves really released anything like that. i would think if they do, someone else would have seen it in vip mag or so and post up here (rather having to see it "exclusively" on that site)

So Lextasy is not a reputable vendor? This is the second time I heard "reservations"
about them.

I thought that there may have been a photo from the Tokyo Auto Salon with that cheeseball
grill... On the white car below I think it's the same grill no?

yeah it looks similar. maybe kazz really has one, i don't know since i do't follow gs stuff that closely. but i am just susprised if kazz comes out with that kind of grille. i guess it must be hard to do a grille for the new gs?

and regardling lextasy. no, they are not a good vendor and they are prohibited and also permanently banned from clublexus. you can search and can find tons of posts and problems about them. i am not going to spend time on them.

Someone earlier mentioned that the grille is part of the bumber so there won't be any grilles coming out unless they are an overlay.

hmmm....the pic from the show looks like an overlay as well. You can see the outlining around the L symbol. Oh well. I like the bodykit, but never liked that grill.

This is an interesting point. That could be why there are almost no grills for
the 3GS yet. Element 114 claims that their grill is a full replacement grill and
not an overlay. They also claim that no drilling is required and it uses the OEM
attachment points. I don't know how true these claims are, but maybe there
is hope...

Maybe I should forget the grill for now and focus on a front lip spoiler

Element114 has the only decent looking grill that I have found.Overlays are about as appealing as spinners.
