Picked up my LC 500c yesterday and noticed a small crack in the grill, any suggestions? LOVE the car BTW.

 

Close up pic perhaps to see what kind of crack we are talking about?

 

You can see the crack on the very top of the Lexus "L" on the grill. Thanks for looking!

 

What's the point of asking for suggestions or help if you don't give us a good pic of the crack?

 

I thought about this but it doesn't look like it will cover the cracks on the back side of where it would mount.

Drive it around a little more until you have a couple more cracks on the grill and change the whole grill. LMAO.
unfortunately, if you don’t want to cover it with a piece of glossy black tape, changing the whole grill is the only proper way to go.

 

get over it...U are the only person that notices it.....most people dont even know what kind of vehicle it is.

 

Have you asked the dealer to replace it?

 

Sorry, I know it was rude to ask for help then not post a better picture. Had phone issues. Here's a better shot.

 

Where are you located?
I see that it came from my local Chicago dealership, McGrath.
I use them for service and they are fantastic

 

Not rude at all. Just not something that allowed anyone to make a good suggestion. Almost looks like someone was trying to pry off the badge at the front and cracked the plastic. You might google for a plastics shop near you to ask for their thoughts. Could be that it can be cemented together with a plastic solvent such that it looks much less prominent and for not too many $$$$'s.

I'd want to get it fixed too. Beautiful car and while others might not notice you will because you know it's there.

 

I did get it from Mcgrath. Mike was my sales rep and he was fantastic. Maybe the best car buying experience I've ever had.

 

maybe some glue that is grey/black as many of the epoxies are.

 

Even if no one else would see that, you will always see it. And in this case I'm sure everyone will see that too. I hope you take the replacement route. That's a beautiful car!

 

I'm also in the Chicagoland area, OP.


If you need help with this, I have a shop that specializes in Lexus/Toyota that's fairly well known around here.

If your car is under warranty, take it back to dealer - if not, I can help point you in the right direction.
