Hmmm... The new TC grill is nice but I think the vertical grill looks better. Sorry, but that's just my opinion. I like the way the Lexus logo stands out better on the vertical grill but the chrome is nice too.

I agree the logo stands out better on the stock version of the grille and wish the vertical grill was chrome on my 07.

But hey, TC grille stands out, it is unique

Hey anybody try the RX400H Grille? They are horizontal slats, but no chromein the middle. It has a bigger "L" on it. I wonder if we chrome the horizontal slats on an RX400H, would it look good? There's a kit you can buy (or else look for the chrome clips). I also believe all of our grilles are chrome based and then painted. Hence you see a ton of chromed out RX grilles. A lot of Paint stripper and kwala, you have chrome grilles!!!!

Default RX400 Hydrid Grille

I am thinking about replacing the below grille on my RX350. What do you all think about this one?

The TC grille is much better if you want to go chrome.

I think I will like it okay, the biggest surprise is that the grill is designed for 2007 and earlier, while it fits fine the corners are different and overall size is smaller than the 2008 grill. It was very easy to install, it took about 10 minutes, the instruction are in Japanese, luckily it is so easy you do not need to read them.
hey where did u get that thundercloud grille? it looks very nice. makes the rx look like an LS! how much did u pay for it? will that work on a 2004 RX330?

Crystal RX - that grille is gorgeous. I love it for two reasons - the chrome, and even better, the lack of the "L" in the center. That's one grille that would make me sell my TC one, which I definitely prefer over stock.

ehizon - two vendors on the the site carry the grille - www.l-tunedparts.com and www.lexus-parts.com. I've bought parts from both and they're great. However, if you're price-shopping it might be worth including www.irontoad.com in the mix.
