In my opinion, I like the look of my LX450 to the LX470, outside at least. To me, the LX450 looks a lot tougher and more masculine. The LX470 is a little too rounded for my tastes.. One guy around here had a 450 body modified to fit in the 470 V8 and some of the interior bits from the 470.

Default hey pbm....

what's up man, nice to see another LX450 owner on the board, tell me about yours! Pics? If you need anything let me know, I haven't spent endless hours researching our fat pigs for nothing.....I'll help all I can.


Oh, about the LX450 with the Lexus V8.....that sounds interesting, there are so many kits out there to convert to a Chevy 350 and it would be much cheaper and I hate to say, have more potential...got any pics?

Default question

is the grill on the LX450 chrome? Can we strip the paint off and then chrome will be underneath? I really want a chrome grill but don't want to use those ones off eBay. Please let me know. Thanks again.

yes.

The chrome kit they sell on ebay is just a crappy stick on type of deal.

Angry Chrome under the black paint on 98 LC???Help

I was told on this site that under all the black paint would be a chrome grill if i used paint remover. I tried it last night and now my grill looks like it was on fire. is this true and do I have to due it some more? the paint is pretty thick and im thinking im actually digging into the plastic itself. help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats what LX told me but I think I really messed my grill up and now it looks like ***** !!!!!!!!!! LX can you tell me where did you get that stuff and im I not using a strong enough paint stripper? and exactly how long did it take you and what did you use to scrap the paint off !!!!!!!!!!!!!! please let me knot ASAP cause if not i will have to order the chrome kit on ebay to kinda hide the ***** of a mess that I created. Are you sure you can do this to a 98-2000 Land cruiser????????????????????????????????????(very pissed off)

????????

Why didn't you try chipping a corner off before you went ahead and destroyed your grill?

I would try that now, if it doesn't work you want to buy a can of spray paint or some chrome detailing tape.
