I was planning on painting my grill and I was wondering how much people paid to do it and to see if possible the outcome of it. I was also wondering doesnt paint get easily chipped off because of rocks on the road?
!!PLEASE POST PICUTRES!!

I want to see this as well. I don't like the chrome around my grill.

see the link in my sig. i got the grille, intake, engine cover (matador red) and the rest of the engine bay covers (black mica) painted for about $400 i think... don't remember exactly.

That looks REAL good jsquared. My car happens to be MR as well.

My calipers don't say Lexus on them though.

jsquared

haha... well i got the calipers clear coated now so they don't really get dirty now. getting new grille mesh in a week or so.. i'll take pics when i get it put in.

what kind of mesh grill are you getting? are you making it yourself?

jsquared

i guess you can call it a blitz replica. i was originally going to get the blitz grille, but it was gonna be like $650. instead i'm getting basically the same thing but the bezel is made with fiberglass instead of the CF. saves me $300 and looks the same. btw, i ordered from a friend overseas.

JSQUARED, would you mind posting up more pics of your JL set up . Im wanna get a similar set up but I need ideas .

jsquared

the system is getting finishing touches done next week (one last dynamatting step and slight adjusments). and then the new grille will be put in whenever i get it (hoping before the end of the month). i'm waiting to do these and i'll take more pics afterwards.

Hey John,

I noticed you had your V1 hardwired to the left on the driver side? Doesnt the manual said you need to have it up as high as possible to prevent interference?
