Default TTE Grill

Hi

I opend one of them, I looked at it and then I opend another one 'cause I just wanted to compare them..

and what do I get? two different fance..

here is the picture..

I was wondering from people who has TTE grills which fance do they have? and for rest of CL which one would they keep? which one they like better

Dang....you SCORED!!

I like them both and interchange them every so often for a different look.

I would also spray paint it Glossy black to match your car.

Are they the same size (and both say they are for GS)? May be an optical illusion, but the one on the bottom looks bigger to me.

I put an LSportline grill in my GS and ended up putting the stock one back in. I didn't really care for what it was showing in behind the grill! You might want to try both to see if one is more denser than the other.

On Black, White & Silver cars the TTE and LSportline grills seem to look better than on like what I got which is Cinnabar. I think with my color you need to put a Lexus or TRD emblem to break it up a bit and give it some contrast.

By the way my LSportline has the mesh similar to your top insert. Has anyone ever changed the mesh to something other than what was shipped to them?

I don't think he's going to keep both grills (or I hope he's not). He only paid for one, so the other should be heading back to Steve.
