Very Jaguer-esqe.
They look nicely made but, I don't know about the trim edge on the IS350/250

I think they look aweful. Looks like a stovetop exhaust fan screen on the car.

I wonder what it would look like painted black. The stock plastic piece is out of place IMO, but while this is not the step up that I hoped it would be, at least it shows that the grille is getting some attention...now its just a matter of someone doing a tasteful setup.

one word: YUCK

People these days have all kind of mods for cars to make money off you. This would probably be one of the worst investment that would make your car look more Rice-esque than Lexus-esque

this was posted long time ago--the one bad thing about this mesh grill is that it does not replace the stock grill, but just lays over it, secured by none other than zip ties.

Definetly not feeling the Grillz. It turned the IS into a happy smiling looking car.
Thats not what i would want for mine.

it looks really bad, but i think it would look slightly less hideous if the chrome edge around it wasn't there...i think that is the worst part, but take the chrome edge off and paint black and i would be intrested...

ewww Please dont put that on your car. It'll make it look cheap and, dear I say, ricer-like.

It's a bit ricer. Too prominent; perhaps it would be more subtle if painted, rather than chromed...
