I have seen the admiration grill for the 01-03....correction. Unless someone is making copies. But I did not know they only had 2 left last month. Im still searching for a grill though.....

the 01-03 grill in the thread is a replica, and the company that used to make them no longer exists. Admiration never made a grill for the 01-03 model. Yes, they only have 2 copies of the Admiration 04+ grill.

I just got off the phone with Carson Toyota who is the same as L-Tuned Parts. They confirmed that the "Admiration LS430 ABS Premium Insert Grille(2) w/chrome grille" (All chrome) is still available for $564.71 and the "Admiration LS430 ABS Premium Insert Grille w/deep chrome gray coat" (Gray coated with chrome front for contrast) for $682.35, which is imported from Japan. I also asked if they are open to a group buy discount and was told that it depends on the number of buyers.

wow, you're pretty stubborn! Look, months ago I wanted this grill. I called around to my buddies in Japan to see if the can score some. Both came back to me stating that the Admiration grill is only made for ucf30 m/c . If you look on the Admiration site it says www.admiration.ne.jp
ABS クローム ディープ グレーコート \58,000
ABS クローム コート \48,000
※30・31M/C 後プリクラッシュセーフティ装着車には装着出来ません。
Now what that last little line says in English is "You cannot install in the pre- crash safety equipped car after 30.31M/C"
MC means after minor changes which equals 04+. Therefore Admiration does not make a grill for the 01-03 LS430. You can go ahead and try to order it, but you are just gonna waste $600 on a grill that is plastic, and that is not going to fit your car.
If you want people that really know about VIP products I wouldnt suggest calling L-Tuned parts. Try giving Dave, at www.memoryfab.com or PM {-.-} (Rob). Both will tell you what I just told you, and should help you find an alternate grill.

just came from the admiration site.
racinstyle......you missed one important piece of info, above all this info:
ABS クローム ディープ グレーコート \58,000
ABS クローム コート \48,000
※30・31M/C 後プリクラッシュセーフティ装着車には装着出来ません。
The line you missed reads: Celsior 30／31 MC 前・後.
In english, that means "available for the Celsior UCF30 and 31, both BEFORE and AFTER the minor changes.
Before the MC would be the 01-03 LS430, after the MC would be 04~.
awtrott.......I have no idea if the grills are still made by Admiration, or available, but the website says they do have (or at least made) the grill for the 01-03 LS.

I would like an opinion on which of the grills to buy. There is a Chrome front against deep gray (Plastic) and an all chrome (Aluminum). I like the idea of the deep gray background with a chrome foreground which I think make for a nice contrast. The discouraging factor is its plastic as oppose to the all chrome grill which is chrome plated aluminum.
Your thought?

FUGLY grill IMHO. Grill will look nicer if it didn't have the center vertical line (for a Lexus that is). LS with that grill looks like a cheap Rolex, when it's not a cheap imitation!
