I want to black out my grill but I would like to check out what other people have done. No more Crome!! I looked at the eBay grills but I don't want something cheap and they need to match upper and lower. Has anyone use the ebay grill?I saw that some people had mentioned F-Sport grills. Will an ISF grill fit in my 07 IS?

you could have someone glass bead it. Its like sandblasting but not as aggressive. I sanded mine with a scotch bright pad.

Plastidipped mine over the weekend, did the rear emblems also. It's a great inexpensive mod.
