grille loose?
2014 GX460 with new "spindle" grille, when pushing a bit by finger you will feel it is loose, not solid fit in. Can hear plastic squeak noise and loose. seems not fit in well and has some little room to move. is it normal by design? I might be " picky", but done't feel it right....

I don't have the new spindle grille but I have to say my grille was cheap and loose feeling also. I removed it and was concerned with how to store it without it getting damaged. Now that the grille is larger and I doubt the material quality is any better... No surprise here 
I don't necessarily think it is a Lexus thing as I have noticed cheap grilles on other brands also.
This truck is considered to be quite competent off road.....It would be nice to know that if you bumped into something on or off road, the grille wouldn't break so easily

there is a GX460 2013 on the parking lot in my workplace, I put my finger on the chrome trim/frame, feel loose as well. I agree the cheap feeling on GX460 grille. BTW, also check a 4runner, very solid.
