nobody in the US makes them. Junction Produce makes one, as do a couple other VIP kit makers in japan. cost of entry is high, $500-700 plus shipping from japan.

99% of the generics are made of plastic, not actual billet.

^maybe for your car ann, but ive been scouring UG and yaj for the last few weeks and I havent even found a proper "billet" style grille... not that i was looking. The point remains that no one I know has a billet grill that isnt billet lol


and when i searched "lexus ls400 billet" on ebay this was the only listing that popped up...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...Q5fAccessories

cheap plastic? yes (states so in the ad)... but not for my gen car

all the ucf10 grills i see fs in japan are metal inserts. ucf20 grills tend to be plastic on the cheap end and metal for $$$.
