I see them sell these chrome grill kit on ebay. Saw a couple CL member have this, how do they look? Should I just buy it on ebay or can I get parts locally?

 

DIY = do it yourself.....


all u need is some laqure thinner 2 strip off the paint on u'r stock grill(its chrome under) do a quick search and u'll find threads where people have done it.....

 

lolz that's interesting. why didn't Lexus just leave it chrome?

 

cuz their st-pid ...........i think the story was they were going 2 have chrome grills but they changed thier minds b4 the release of this body and just painted them. thats just what i read or heard somewhere.

 

yah that's pretty stupid. But I found some post, if it's just paint thinner and a couple q tips can't be too hard. Thanks Blue

 

ya np..its real easy, i just used something called goo b gone sold at walmart...

 

yah I know exactly what that is. I'll give it a shot next weekend

 

definitely do it yourself, it's as easy as you can imagine

 

Saw this thread today and decided to do it. It was easy.. by the end you will become a pro and adapt your own style for doing it!

 

Are all the second gen GS's made with the chrome underneath? I have an 01' and I'd like to do the same.

 

just did mine last night

BEST WAY to do it:

Acetone (nail polish remover) and a brillo pad, comes RIGHT OFF!!!!

took me 20min to do the whole grill

 

I did mine on Saturday before Jay's BBQ meet. I just took a razor blade and shaved off the paint on the front of the grill. Be carefull, but man it was easy. Took me about 15 - 20 minutes. Looks real good and very clean on the edges, since I only wanted the front portion of the grill chrome showing and the rest to stay painted.
