Default Ultra White color matched grill surround photos - finally

I searched and searched but never found any photos and I know there were lots of requests for this neat customization in UW. So, now that mine is done - here are the photos







It'll probably look better in full sun and when the car isn't covered in snow and salt.

None, its the Sewell Lexus UW part that directly replaces the chromed one. So, I have the white one on now and the chrome one is still in my trunk.

Do you have to take the bumper or other parts off to replace it? Does it just unsnap?

Ugh I want to do this so bad but the bumper removal/reinstallation looks like such a hassle

Yes, you have to take the bumper off like others mentioned.

The part cost about $200 from Sewell (wife bought it for me).
The job was beyond something I would like to have done, so I had Lexus do it, since the car is warrantied. Labor was about $240. Not cheap, but not too bad either.

Looks good!

But Labor to put it on costs more than the part itself?! Man up guys, bumper removals are one of the easiest things you can DIY. Just a bunch of clips and screws that are easily accessible.

Looks great, but not worth the $440! Vinyl wrapping it, along with the side window chrome, would have been my preferred method. To each their own! Looks nice for sure though.
