The lower grille should go, but if you keep staring at it it doesnt look to bad...


Maybe if it was a two toned kind of theme it would look better.

I wouldn't call it ricey, more like hill billy, EEEEWWWWHHHH!
"billet" grills are gross no matter whay they're attached too.

But Hey, if you like, roll with it, but I'm kinda guessing that if you had to ask and post pictures, you're kind of not happy with the results either.

Your car will look x10 better without chrome, with some blacked out headlight will be even better!

Lexus' are luxury cars ..... I don't think they look good with extra chrome, this includes grilles and wheels. It's a highly subjective thing, if you like it that is what is important. But luxury to me means understated, and chrome says the opposite. There is really little we can do to tart up the front end of our cars; different color lights, overlays, etc. Most grille treatments, including blacking them out, don't improve the stock look, imo. I put a RaceMesh grille on the lower opening because I didn't like the black gaping opening on the stock setup. But it doesn't stand out, just adds a bit of texture to the front, and it looks like it belongs. Some like it, some don't. It's all personal on how you feel about it.
