Thanks. I didn't know the name of the color, just knew that it slightly resembles cinnabar. Both are very nice colors.

It's not letting me attach the image from the post on page one but that car (White GS with Mercedes E-Class Front Bumper) does NOT have an OEM grille on it, nor does it even REMOTELY look like an OEM Grille. It does look like the Grilles i see on EBAY all the time for a couple of dollars, and thats probably why it fits so badly.

Yeah, that Grill fitment is horrible. The Black Cherry one is nice. I like the OEM Grille, thats why I've opted to keep it myself.

Those mirrors would look sick!
I don't really care for the ones that are available for our cars now, I think the blinker part is to bulky.

Default Custom front bumper for the 2gs upload pics please

Hey guys pretty soon I'm going to part with my Jp rep kit so that I can go down the custom route for example I've seen quite a few gs where they take a bottom half of the bumper from another make/model and they joint it just like the ls460 rear on the 2gs rear bumper anyways I was wondering if you guys can help out by uploading pics of custom front bumpers merged with our stock please guys and thanks have a great Christmas and be safe
