Default Custom Mesh Grille idea!

So i had an idea to change up the look of my ES300.

Heres what a stock 2001 ES300 grille looks like.


Heres my idea!

Replace the chrome bars with a mesh grille.

You could also paint/plastidip/vinyl wrap the chrome outline to be whatever color.

i did some photoshopping and along with other mods this is what my car would look like!


I also used photoshop to add a front lip, yellow fogs, lower the car, and widen the wheels.

The photos weren't showing up for me so I posted them again.

Its certainly an idea! I'm more a stock look type of guy but doesn't mean you couldn't do it to your own. I definitely like the idea of the fog lights.

Also glad you decided to keep your car

Not a fan of a honda-like grille, but others are pretty easy and cheap mods.

Just a tad FYI though.. I yellow'd out my fogs with the adhesive kind but it was a PITA to remove it. So think twice before you put them on. It will eventually start to bubble from the heat of the fog lights. Just my 2 cents.

I was thinking about a vinyl wrap, theres a shop near my house that will do it cheap and they have a warranty if things go wrong.
