Default Custom Billet Grill

I need help on building my GS400. Im looking at the Junction Produce Grill for the GS. But those bad boys sell for $880. Is there anywhere that sells those grills cheaper. Or is there another manufacturer that sells a grill just like it?

OK, if anyone is adventurous enough, they can try this idea. Take the grill from the es 330 and form it into the gs grill .

I like the horizontal slats too to match the lines on the lower bumper. I'm not too fond of the vertical slats
But don't do the billet grills from those lifted trucks or any other cheesy billet grills

I like that idea GS3Tek but thats sounds hard....but then agin a grille specialist would know.

or you can try a oneoff grille. this guy was in TX a while back. he made a pretty nice one for a sleek looking black gs ( these had to be back in 01) looked good.

about doing it yourself, good luck, that's going to be fun

about the es330 grill, thought and looked at it before already, won't work, it curves a lot more

about the ambition, i wdoner how it works, forgot if the outter trim is removable from the stock grile?

That grill is just like the WIN GS VIP billet grille. I like the horizontal slate but w/o the outer perimiter its just dirrirent than the JP. The WIN grill fit and finish is to quality. I'm going this route to get the billet look. It is getting repainted.

You can try and get a billet grill and put it in the stock perimiter rtrim Ilke 1skcvc did. He is closed lipped about how or where he got it made.

I believe he sold it to dzgs400
