I was searching for a new front grille when i came across this product. it's not an actual grille piece but strips of chrome which fit over the existing grille.

if those are the only options, go with the 1st link.

I don't like chrome though.

No experience with the product either, nor a fan of too much bling. But if bling is your thing, go for it! Blitz grill would have been my first choice if it wasn't too expensive.

you guys are right. I think it would cheapen the look of the car. Will IS-F's front grille fit on IS250? I took a close look at one the other day at the dealer and it looked great.
