Talking DIY Chrome Grill

I noticed how noone has any pictures of their grill after they used the paint remover. I went to home depot today and picked up a heavy duty paint remover...the name is Jasco paint remover...it ran me about 5 dollers....the whole process took me about 45 minutes....Here's the pic!

Welcome to ClubLexus blackgs & congrats on your first post!

Your picture isn't quite entirely coming across perhaps because it is too large. Try resizing it to 800 x 600 or smaller.

BTW, if you use the search feature for 'chrome grill' you'll find LOTS of pictures of them on ClubLexus. Here are a few in addition to yours...

Congrats on the newly-chromed grill - looking forward to seeing a pic once you get it resized!

ain't that the truth. a few years ago, things like rims, a kit, exhaust, intake and stuff would've been it and i'd feel like king of the road. now, the modding is endless and there's always something new out there that you must have
