Default Front Grill choices for the IS-F thread! Options we have?

I did a quick search and it seems there is no compilation thread for the various grills that some of you are running.

For the GS there seems to be a few choices (Prussian, Blitz, ete)

What are the choices for the IS-F? I noticed a few of you Macgyver types made your own? I really like the ones without the Lexus logo for a the clean look but does anyone make it?

Post one picture and what you have....I'm sure this will help everyone else decide!

The only commercial one I found was from Carson with the black chrome surround and the Lexus logo:

As far as I know, there are no options. Everything I've seen so far is DYI.. Kinda surprising actually.

Lightbulb *** None ***

^^^ Not really.. Low production numbers are to blame...

The one listed from Carson is just the OEM trim in Black Chrome...


Here is my "DIY" version... They make a great stuff!! LoL

Dark Gray Matte to compliment my wheels....

Very nice JoeZ!

I've seen some members with the mesh grill ONLY without the "Lexus logo" did they make those themselves? Perhaps someone can post up a DIY?

I remember bak in the day I had a Rod Millen grill on my 2G GS400 and it looked great. I'd like to have a mesh grill with the black chrome surround, mesh grill and only the "F" logo offset on the side somewhere.

Guys, c'mon post up what you did!!!!

This is a super smooth looking IS-F front for sure with the custom grill that belongs to Supraman16!

Owner said the grill was custom made and looks sweet. What front lip is on this car?
