Default GX470 Front Grill Paint

Anybody ever paint their front grill? How about the silver sills at the bottom of the side windows?

If so, any pics? Thx!

Thanks for posting the pic. I've been on the fence about a bull bar. This will definitely help with the decision. Nice truck by the way!

I plastidipped all the trim on my truck. There is no chrome left now except for my exhaust.

Hmm, tell me more. Amazon says the Westin 30-0025 doesn't fit the GX...

Not meaning to sound ignorant but what is the purpose of the bull bar, pushing someone's car off the road that is broke down or something? I have seen them on HUGE jacked up trucks but never a Lexus like ours. Looks pretty cool, just wanted to know the functionality of it if any. Thanks!

it's not really functional in terms of pushing, crash impact, etc. for me, it's functional to mount my lights.
