About $100 at the dealer. I think it looks way better than the gutter mesh that you get at the home depot.

this is a dum dum question to put on the forum. LOL

everyone's gonna vote OEM grill, and I don't know why lots of people complain about the price of the OEM grill, it's very inexpensive.

I voted foe mesh. That stuff is pimp! You can use it for keeping chickens in the yard, OR put it on your car! Great stuff!

OEM for sure. Chrome grill completes the 97+ look.

My grille was like $82 from Carson Toyota with Club Lexus pricing. Just call them up and ask for Luis. It will be well worth your money to get the OEM part.
