FYI - you cannot buy this brand new. The SD grille is only partially "chromed". Fully chromed "OEM" grilles are all DIY.

A fully chromed SD grille = A fully chromed 01-05 OEM grille.

What I meant was that there is no such thing as OEM brand new fully chromed grilles. If lextasy (I would avoid them, but that is a different story altogether) is selling it, they took an OEM grille and did a DIY to get it fully chromed.

The SportDesign grilles only came on the 02-03 GS300. These were partially chromed from the factory. You can call these brand new OEM.

If you are willing to do the work, you can do the DIY and make a fully chrome grille yourself. It just takes some chemicals (people have used different things) and some elbow grease.

I don't want to rehash the issue. Do a search on the name and you will get some reading.

Here is a recent thread (one of many):

I did the chrome grill mod myself but I didnt fully chrome it, although that would be alot easier, I just chromed the front like the SD grills, takes alot of patience for that.
