Default Hi

Hi I'm new to the forum! I recently purchased a pre-owned 2013 ES350 in obsidian. My previous vehicle was a 2012 Cadillac CTS! I have to say that the ES350 is a far superior vehicle, I love it! I'm looking to have the front grill top/bottom chromed out. Does anyone have recommendations for doing so? I feel the grill chromed out would definitely make the front end pop a bit more than it does now!

I can't help you with the chroming part, but will welcome you to this forum. You will probably have questions about the car and this is the place to ask them. Everyone eager to help. So good luck with your new car and hope to see you back again soon.

Hello and welcome to Club Lexus. I cannot help with the chrome but perhaps someone else here can.

I got a chrome grill cover for the bottom half so now both top and bottom grills are shiny. It was a simple dealer install needing just a few screws and mounting brackets. I might be removing it soon and going the opposite way, making the entire grill either dark gray or black. Plastidip's your pal

I'm going the Plasti dip route for the inner grill area and have ordered a chrome piece for the bottom of the grill! So basically the inner part of the grill will be black and the outer trim area chrome!
