Does anybody have a SS grill thats not on a silver sport?
How does it look?
I think all SS grills are silver so you would have to paint it if you want it another color. It looks good on the all silver and all black, but I don't know how it would look on another RX (2-tone). Depends on what color you choose to paint it.

Actually, now that I look at the coach edition on lexus.com, I would say to paint the outer rim of the grill body colored, and leave the center silver. Looks goods.

Yea thats exactly What I was thinking Thanks LEX

where would I get the paint from?.

I only need a very small amount. Would I also need the clearcoat because I had a chip on my door and Lexus gave me a small bottle of paint and a bottle of clearcoat.

I wouldn't paint it myself, but have it done by the dealer or some body shop. Just be sure to have the paint code for your RX.

Yeah, have some shop do it for you... The paintcode is inside the drivers door on the sticker... It will say "CO" for color....

check out the grille on Erebunis website, that looks alright its only 214. I have the stock plain grille. A guy 30 minutes from me chromes car parts and said that he would chrome my stock grille for 60 bucks. but it would be too flashy cause nothing else is chrome.

**ANYONE know where to get two SS pearled "L" emblems for the back of my RX and the grille. I want to. Anyone know??
