Default 2IS Mesh Grille Questions

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...spagenameZWDVW

Found this on Ebay. Who has it? Do you like it? Has anyone used anything better, and if so where? How was the install, being that the part is shipped "rough?" Did you paint the grille? Pics are welcome!!! Thanks!!

uh.. I have that grill except in CF... IT SUX. I would rather you NOT get it but if you get it you're gonna have to know that you're gonna have to do some modifications on the grill and also your chrome piece as well. Basically it's gonna be held on by 3m tape. It took me a whole bunch of tape 'cause if you dont get it in there pefectly then you're gonna have MASSIVE gaps. I reccomend you get the carson, blitz if you're gonna want a perfect fit. If not. then you can double stick tape and get the real one after that sucka falls off

there's an adaptor you can get. however I'd just take some 3m on the emblem (whichever one you want) and just stick it on the back and slap it on the grill. Just make sure the grill is clean and also the emblem is clean before you stick the tape on.

I'm looking for a plan grille if I got the CF I'd need to get it painted

I found this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...son+is+tune+cf but it looks as if the carson is no longer made? I read about a GB somewhere... any help?

I'm liking the CF grill piece. It adds a nice subtle touch to the car
