Hi,
I have a white 2014 ES 350 with the straight front grill and I would like to change that to a black or chrome spindle grill. Do you ladies and gents have any recommendation for me?

Thanks,

Plastidip works, that's what some people here have used if you don't want to go through a proper paint job. Otherwise you might want to wait for the 2016 ES facelift to see if the new grille can be transplanted over.

I wonder if Plastidip will peel or chip over time?

My understanding is that it's a temporary mod, that can be removed easily. I would assume if it's on the front bumper and rocks hit it, it will chip and peel. Probably easy enough to reapply, though.

I saw one of these at Lexus of Dayton that was in the showroom and it looked really good. I asked about it and they said it was about $900 to get it done, fyi..
