Default FREE chrome grill

I may be repeating old news, but is everyone with a 98 GS300 aware of the shiny chrome right under the black paint on their grill? I was noticing tiny chips in mine and decided to scratch away at the paint with a razor blade and steel wool so I could repaint it. To my suprise, the entire grill "once stripped down" is fully chromed like the GS400! The best part of the whole thing is, it took 15 minutes to do and it's FREE!!

dbox,

Send SUPRATRD (aka Steve Ganz @ Carson Toyota) a PM and he will set you up with a new chrome "L" emblem for your grill once you take off the paint off the ribs.. Steve is a great guy and will give you a decent price too..
