I actually really like them. For $85 shipped they can't be beat. I have no flickering issues, it was very easy to install, and they look great with the stock head lights.

Wow! That gloss black looks amazing! I need to paint mine.

Did you strip the chrome or did paint over it?

Yeah he stripped it down with a solvent and scrub. Nothing too in depth tho. I really likes the way it looks. I just need to wash the rest of my car lol.

Wow that is cool. I don't know anybody that can strip chrome in my area. Can I send you one of my grilles and you get it painted for me? I'd pay you for your time of course.

I don't have a problem doing it, however I'll have to ask the guy that did mine if he would be willing to. He works for a big dealer bodyshop here and isn't suppose to do sidework. He really did it as a favor for me. I'll ask him today and I'll let you know.

Thanks man! I appreciate it. If it doesn't work out I'll look into possibly powdercoating the grille.

I am local and am looking to get some work on my Lexus's
I haven't seen you around, where are you normally. I am in Johns Creek and drive to Dunwoody for class & my shop is in Chamblee (M.S.Electronics.Inc)

Oh and love the exhaust tips! Did you do any other exhaust mods?

Thank you! I appreciate it. Spoiler came from a eBay seller Richjinbao. It was $90 shipped painted Black Onyx. Haven't test fitted yet though however a lot of people recommended him.
