Very clean, somewhat reminds me of the Hyundai Genesis grill but without the exaggerated flares.

I have no interest in making my Lexus look remotely like another car. Why should I?

I was the 1st to get that grill several years back for my 1st 01 LS430. I paid $500 for it I believe. Took 4 months to get. The grill was GARBAGE. Extremely flimsy and cheap quality. I'd pay $40 bucks for it today. Biggest waste of money I have ever spent on a mod. I was able to sell it for $275 a few months later. The ones currently on Ebay for around $70 are FAR better quality.

I realize that people want to be different, but why change the stock grill? The best look I've seen so far is the stock grill, it just suits the 430 so well esp the 04+ facelift models.

But you, however, feel it is your right to convince me to "move along"? LOL

I have no problem with the original post, which revealed a custom grill for the LS430. I thought the post of a Mercedes had little to do with the original post. This is a Lexus forum after all.

Can you buy from Upgarage directly from the USA?

I'm sure you can, if you can read Japanese and manage to get the Upgarage location to ship internationally.

If not then you'll have to find a broker to help close the deal.
