I went through some different looks....here are pics to give you an idea.
Changing grilles is like buying new shoes. Eventually you will get tired and want a new look. So it's always good to have options....change em up like you change your shoes.
You can always go mesh (not mine)
You can go mesh and slap on a "L" badge (not mine).
First change I did was I painted the "L" black pearl and the chrome that surrounded the grille. It was nice....but it does eventually chip from daily driving no matter what.
Then I bought the 3 bar chrome Altezza grille (Z-edition). Took my painted "L" badge and did the famous DIY to fit nicely on the grille.
Not too long after, I swapped out the painted "L" badge for this custom flat face "L."
Currently, I have the 03 Sportdesign grille with the OEM black pearl emblem and I am 100% satisfied with this look (for now).

stripping the grille and painting it isn't too awful bad, it just depends on what you want to do to it and how much time and work you want to put in it. are you looking to rattle can the grille or are you looking for a base/clear look?
