I agree - it doesn't look bad! Certainly more appealing than the chrome billet grills that we've seen.

Looks ok, maybe it would look better on black?

Do the gulf spec 2IS' have the IS250 (2 piston) or IS350 (4 piston) front brakes? What about the engine covers?

Not my cup of tea but it doesn't look bad at all. I agree with Mister T than it might look better in black cars than light-colored ones.

We have the IS350 front brakes.
this is the engine cover, same cover as the 3rd gen GS300.

Come on, man, my upper and lower chrome billet grilles don't look that bad!
I must admit though that I have decided to upgrade probably over the summer to the LX Mode chrome upper and lower grilles.

Not that bad actually. Kind of makes the car look more luxury. But I still think its a tad too much bling. But to each his own.
