I see it attempts to go the way of the LS. I think this car really needs the vertical lines for this front end, imo. The horizontal lines make the car look less hunkered down and more... normal.

Subtle. The front lip looks a little feminine, though.

Looks like the Lexus emblem is about to fall off.

Looks ok, Id personally go for a Blitz grille. And that chrome lip on the lower grille of the car is pretty weird looking.

I like it, but not necessarily any better than the original stock grille. A different look, but they both look good to me.
