Default Found a white LS400 with a white grille

I just thought I'd post this on the forum. I personally dont think it looks too good, but some of you might think otherwise. I posted this because I wated everyone who owned a white LS to see what a painted grille would look like on their car.

Anyones on here??

Looks horrible.
The whole none two tone white car looks very odd as well. I would never paint it all white.

I probably wouldn't monotone my LS400 in it was just white. The pearl white would look great though. Ive always had a preference for the two-toned white LS, but not for any other two-tone color.

Ditto. Everything seems to work better for black LS400s.

my grille is colour matched but no one ever can tell.
If the lights were white also it would be nice.

It looks good cause it's different, very unique...

but at the same time it can look kind of plasticy and tacky cause it's white

i like it, but with all that white, i think it would look even better with some different wheels to balance things out....

The LS badges on the fenders are pretty dumb... and the whole car looks like a refrigerator.
