Yeah and so are the RX330 grills.
At the time they wanted $200 plus for used grills in nasty condition on fleabay.

I put on RX350 badges for 1/2 the cost and a new(made in Japan) late model Gen 2 grill for 2009 for only $95 new.
Grill was plug and play, easy peasy and snapped right in, viola!

Oh yeah, I always try in a small spot test very low down on the car when doing stuff like this.

PS- I tried Goo Gone too. It filled the air with a pleasant citrus aroma but that's about all it did! haha
