If you decided on the blitz grill. I think it would look better if the chrome bits around it were blacked out.

I am a traditionalist. I prefer to keep my sc430 looking stock. But that is just me, you should follow your preferences.

Hey Shawn, after further review, the result of the original call has been changed and the player likes option "A" over his original choice of "C".

Can you delete or change my choice?
Actually, I bet a moderator could do it!

Thanks for all the answers to the poll. I really do appreciate it. I'm still waiting for more answers to trickle in and see what the consensus will be. As requested, I attached a few more pics of the Blitz grille. I will also try to black plastidip the chrome and area around the grille and then add some more photos and see what people think. As for the question about platidip. It usually sold at hardware stores (homedepot, etc), or local autoparts places too (pepboys, az, etc). Anyway, let me know if these additional photos change anyone's previous opinions...


Ps/ I don't think I can physically change anyone's vote but I will make a mental note.

Hi Shawn
Blitz looks good, but I think it would be better if the chrome surround was black too.

Mine is stock, but painted body colour (English spelling!!) apart from the lower chrome trim that is matt black and I am very happy with it.






Cheers
Steve

Why would you want to remove the Lexus badge?

Not my thing either, but pretty common. See it on my BMW forum too. It's about clean look. It's also about that sense of mystery it creates.

It's called customising. That's what I enjoy.
Why does it need a badge, I know what it is?

Or you can do a contrasting color for the center and body color for the trim.
