Default Blitz FiberGlass Replica Grill

I couldn't justify myself spending $600-$700 on the CB Blitz grill so I bought a replica on ebay. I think you can order the kit from their website too (www.lipkit.20m.com) It's made out of FG and the quality/fitment is good. It also came with a nice black powder coated mesh for back. I preped and painted it myself. Here's some pictures.

This is how it came out of the box.


After its been preped/primed with Dupli-Color Sandable Primer.


Painted/Clear Coated with Dupi-Color Black Metalic paint and clear top coat


Here's a close-up of the color and finish.


Here are some shots of my car with the grill finished and installed w/ the "L" instead.







I think the grill came out very good so I just wanted to share with you guys. I hope you guys like it.

Looks good, I don't know about the "Lexus" emblem, not feeling that, but other than that, nice.

I didn't want to yank off fhe "L" from the OEM grill so that's just gonna be there until I get up off my lazy *** to get a new one. I'm also kinda debating whether to get a regular chrome emblem to match the outer part of the grill or fork over the cash to get black pearl ones.

$600+ for that and not even matching with lower grill.

I need a few minutes to think about it.
