I finally got around to installing the new Thundercloud grille and it looks fantastic! The whole thing took about 30 minutes. Here are some pics of before/after; it was almost 8pm so no sun unfortunately:

Looks great. That is the grill that we should have gotten from the start. I ended up going with the aftermarket spots grill with horizantal slat without the emblem, but I probably would have keep the OE grill if we got this one from the start.

Im hoping for my new grill to arrive this weekend. But, I think mine might cost a bit more than yours did.

















Oh ya, its has a Thundercloud Edition RX330 already attached to it

LOL, yeah, just a few more $$$, right?

congrats on the new TC RX!

That's a nice grille. And nice house, too. Must be at least $1.5 million. Having a Lexus Meet at your place must be fun.

I LOVE IT! The passion actually died out for me, but seeing your pics sparked another fire in my head... I do have a tire rotation appt today at the dealership...

Very nice. I think it looks much better than the stock one. Congrats on the "upgrade".

lexuslover

thanks!

other than window tints and chrome oem wheels, this is my first "mod" ever on any car i have had. i think it's all you mod'ers on this forum that inspired me to try something different, and i like it! uh-oh! watch out!

how much did you guys pay for the thundercloud grill? i called my dealer and i think they quoted me $250?

wow that really makes a dramatic difference in the front. Great choice!

If your dealer is selling it for $250 and you want one, I'd jump on it. That's a great price. I believe the recent GB for these were $299.

lexuslover

that's right - GB was $299 + tax, but included shipping. it took about 2 months to get.

if you can get for $250 today and install yourself, that would be a great deal!

Lexuslover,

That looks NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like getting one now.....but not for $299 + tax.

Well, unless you get it from somewhere else, the GB is over so even $299 is not possible through Carson at this point.
