imho it all looks ugly w/ any of the abovebadging on there because i doubt an L will even fit in the grill and even if you can. it'll look way too small

Maybe a "Lexus" emblem in Black Pearl or Chrome? i dunno

Why does this kit have the grill opening on the wrong spot? I know it's not an authentic vertex kit, but it can't be that hard to move the opening a little lower.

Where from if you don't mind? I'm about to scoop up a set myself but haven't decided on where to get 'em from. These Eibach's gotta go.

I like the "L" in the center by the way. I don't like offset stuff.

I bought them from Carson. Hit up Todd over at TM, he might be able to give you a better deal than Carson Toyota.

Does anyone else see a similarity between that bumper with the centered L emblem, and the 2007 Camry bumper? I really like the front end of the 07 Camry, and like the centered L as well, so not saying its a bad thing..

ide rather have your bumper than vertex, bigger openings=better cooling if you go turbo
