Do Bulletproof's prices tend to be high? Just seems like a lot.

The Blitz Grill is expensive.

can't really tell but I thought the Blitz was CF?

It looks like it has a chrome border.

Bulletproof tends to be more expensive, and they take a long time to get their stuff.

wow thanks... looks similar if not the same. i'll ask my parts guy. he was also gonna get me a carbon fiber insert for the middle 'v' part of the engine cover. i got all the covers painted... just gotta wait for that CF piece to finish it off.

oh and btw... the grille i'm getting has two variations, one with small holes in the mesh like the pic and one with bigger holes, similar to the oem bottom grille. and whichever one i choose (probably the smaller hole one so you can't see all the junk behind it) will come with a matching bottom piece and both can be painted anything i want before it is sent out to me.

where are you getting the CF one from? I like that a lot. OE grille too chrome for the SGM in my opinion

my parts manager at Bob Baker Lexus is getting it for me. I got the outer trim of the trim color matched already. when i order the grille, he said i can get it painted whatever i want. so i'll probably match it to the outside engine bay covers i got painted, black mica. i'll try to find out more and let you guys know. so far, i don't even know what company it's from.
