The picture appears to be the Artisan Spirit Hi Spec kit but I don't think AS made that grille. However, LX-Mode has similar design in chrome grille finish or gunmetal.

Yes, Artisan Spirit does not make that chrome grill on the pic. It's made by some other company in Japan, maybe it's from K-Break. You can contact www.bulletproofautomotive.com for the LX-mode parts, they pretty much can get everything from Japan.

A company out of california quoted me a $650.00 price tag for the brushed aluminum grill with the lexus emblem on it(which is more expensive). Have they lost there damn minds. There aint a grill out there worth that much i dont care if it was made of gold!

then this is obviously not a car for you. parts for this car aren't cheap like some for the ricer cars.

650 for a grille that you can just snap on is a pretty decent price imho. you don't need to paint, NOTHING. just snap it on. the junction produce grille on my gs400 retails for 880, beat that.

if you want cheaper ones, the AS one here
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2398

is a lot cheaper.

others like PB
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2064

600 bucks

blitz
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2623

630 bucks

even the carson tuned
http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2251

it's 350 bucks and i think it's before painting, which will run you 150 easily making it 500.

and looking at bulletproof, they are even more expensive

http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com...il.php?ID=6031
http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com...il.php?ID=6084

remember these are even prices before shipping. and these don't have the lexus emblem at all.

i don't know if the price you got quoted is before or after shipping. if it's before shipping, that's a very fair price. if it's shipped, i think that's quite a deal
