Default Front Grille

Does anyone think the IS would look better with a horizontal grille instead of a verticle grille? I remember seeing the horizontal grille on the RX330 thundercloud edition and it looked to me Alot better than the stock verticle grille...
Was a different grille ever made for the IS300? Im wondering if this something that aftermarket companies make.
Is anyone who is proficient in Photoshop willing to take a crack at it?

To each their own but I think it looks hot the way Lexus designed it.

And if it came with a horizontal grill, we'd want the verticle grill.

Personally, I like the vertical. It's different than most other cars.

There will undoubtedly be aftermarket grill options out soon for the 2IS.

It's one of the most typical mod items for other models of Lexus (for example the 2nd Gen GS here has dozens of options)

+1 A chrome vertical grille mod might look good though, saw it on a Japanese GS350, looks hot
