RX300 already has a chrome grill, just use a paint remover and take the gray paint off. You will see the beautiful chrome underneath.

Yes, Lexus painted our chrome grills with gray paint, not only on RX300 but also GS (possible IS). Here is DIY link, it is the cheapest way to get an OEM new grill. Thread started by a Canada person so I guess it is good enough for him to last the winter.

I have 00 and use a Home Depot paint remover to get chrome grill. You can verify 99 RX by looking closely to any abrasion caused by rock chipping on the grill, shining surface underneath means you got chrome.
