Default New Grille for the GS 06-07

Hey guys, these pics were just fowarded to us from Artisan Spirits and we wanted to post them up to see what you guys think. If anyone has any questions please feel free to pm me.

Artisan Spirits Full Grille Repalcement, it replaces the grille chrome surround and the grille and turns into one unit.

I like it, I've been trying to find a grille for my 06. This one is definitely one I would consider getting for my car.

I've gone to L-Tuned Parts and actually found this one.... because it looks kinda stealth http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2398

Or the Blitz and that's definitely very stealth and simple. But then again, I do have a silver car and I like the chrome that Artisan Spirits just put out with the Lexus emblem. I'm still debating.

What do you think? Don't want to make my car look too gaudy.

I think it would look more refined if the top edge of the grille was inline with the top edge of the trim around the signal lights.
