Default Custom Grille

Can anyone direct me to a source for a custom grille for a LS 460. I would love to have a simple grille, not mesh, with no badging.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

It looks like Artisan Spirits, Skipper, Branew and Garson have one.
But seems to be a glaring shortage of replacement grilles, which is one of the first things I thought of switching. Wonder if there is a sensor or something there that replacing the grille would screw up....
I've found some grilles online but they bolt over the existing grille, which would probably look like it sounds.

no sensors in the grille...if there were a "metal bolt on" would def interfere.. jus plastic (or chrome plated plastic)..

im in the process of fabbing 1 up now(but its slow going).. due to the lack of options.. Fabulous made 1 thats no longer avail.. JP made an awesome metal grille, i had 1 on my GS..but nothing for the LS in that style. Lx mode makes a grille for the IS & GS..but no LS...why??

anyone have any ideas on where i can get an emblem-less grille (factory style) nothing all blinged out.....

thanks for the update. amazing that such a grille does not exist.

i observed one on a customized LS, however there was no reference to who made the darn thing.

Still without a grille option.

WOW thats pricey.... my JP grille was $1100 shipped (and took 3months to arrive) & i thought that was too much but $2650 brings WOW to a whole new level

I'm guessing you meant "Strut," which I found is $3500, but I can't find a photo of it anywhere.

If anyone has a 2010 year model, found a mesh grill at a good price:

I'm going to call them and see if it'll fit my 2008.
