I was just wondering if anyone knows where to get a front grill similar to the stock one but chrome. Thanks

 

If you search for earlier posts, the GS grill IS chrome, you just need some nail polish remover to get rid of the paint on top of the chrome.

 

Jazziz took all the black off his stock grill with acetone. Sounds like a very tedious job though.

 

Took me 20 hours to do....but looks very nice....perfect

 

So how exactly do you go about removing the current paint to get to the chrome? I don't want to destroy the whole grill.

 

Rub, rub, rub, and rub more.

 

I used the paint stripper from Ace Hardware and took me about 2 hours to strip all the black paint off. Just make sure you wear gloves because if you get the stuff on your skin, it will burn.

The chrome grill looks great. Definitely worth the effort.

 

Hey, does anyone have pics of their grill? anyone do it to their 2001 gs430?

i was just wondering...the paint stripper or acetone doesnt dull the finish of the chrome? i guess if it is pure chrome and it was chromed well it shouldnt...

 

If you do plan to strip the whole entire grill, I would suggest to leave the horizontal bars. I did mine recently but the horizontal bars looked awkward so I painted them black again.
