With PCS: The system used was Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) which had a radar antenna behind the plastic "shield" surrounding the Lexus logo in the center of the grille.

The confusion is a result of the use of the term "radar" in the dash display even with the non-PCS cars (all of which had a laser, not radar).
That sounds right. My 04, assembled in Dec of 03, has the laser installed where you mentioned.

I would guess it was dealer installed as he had the 18" chrome wheels and the strobes done at the original purchase.

Well the car has the radar gun behind the logo and the window sticker shows Modern Luxury Group.
