Nexus is the trusted travelers program that allows you to cross the border much quicker. It's like $50 for 5 years, but involves a ton of paperwork and an interview with border security.

I usually get my items shipped to 24/7 parcel, but I think they are only in BC. But there are plenty of other companies that will hold onto parcels for a small fee.

I just painted mine to look more like OEM mesh grill. Paint I used was Dupli color Phantom gray pearl and dupli color clear coat.

How long ago did you have it done? How is the paint holding up? Thanks

Looks good!

I have one from Ebay that's very similar but I think they may be different in design. I also removed the Lexus Logo because I thought it looked kinda funny with it on.

Probably painted almost 8 months ago. The paint is holding up pretty well. A few chips but barely noticeable. Probably because I didn't spray enough clear coat to protect it. Originally, I left it black but from far way it looked like my car didn't have grill so I painted it and it's more noticeable. Will probably repaint it again. It's really easy.

Thank you for the tips! I just received my order today; I will try to paint it this weekend.

Just finished installing the new grille after painted it with Phantom Gray Pearl and clear coat. I am very happy with the result.
Btw, don't purchase this grille if you want to have a Grille without the Badge (this grille has an big opening and insert to line up with the "L".

The grill that the OP bought looks just like the OEM grill per the pictures on below thread comparing where the Lexus logo sits

Get the grill above if you want it took close to OEM. I got the other one because there are times I want to badgeless.
