Default Blitz grille installed

I know everyone's seen it, but I wanted to post mine anyway! Authentic Blitz grille with color matched bezel from Sewell.





As you can see, I scratched the bezel and the front bumper in 2 spots (), but they should polish out hopefully.

My car is getting the Wald spoiler molded on next week and I've got some spacers and springs on the way soon until I get get some real wheels.

First pic probably doesn't do it justice, ie. you probably need to see it in person. I like it.

I don't understand why people don't like the luxurious look of the (L) on the grille. You take it off, I feel as though you are taking away from the Lexus quality and the car looks empty and blah from the front almost like a civic or a rice burner. I want people to know I have a lexus, not a...what kind of car is that? But I guess thats just my opinion.

Thanks for the comments guys. I like it just the way it is. Everyone has different tastes in cars and how they like to mod them. I don't like the chrome, and I like the debadged look on a lot of cars. I didn't like the vertical lines of the OEM grille, so I think this looks nice. I might consider putting a black "L" in the front, but for now I'm going to leave it as is.

Looks good. Can't wait to see the Wald spoiler molded on. The springs and spacers would automatically improve the overall appearance of your car.
