Default Help deciding on the color of a grill for my car
Hi I have a 2001 a Black LS430 with polished 2004 ls430 18" wheels. I am ordering the Amistad Euro Grill. It comes in either chrome or black chrome. Which would look better.? I have no idea what black chrome looks like

Any help especially pics would help me get an idea. Thanks

Black chrome is basically a smoked chrome. Looking at my Oakleys lol. Do you have a link you can show us?

He's talking about this one:



I know they have it for the '04-'05 LS430's, but I didn't know they made one for the '01-'03s. Are the grills the same for both models?

I think they are slightly different, but I haven't had our 03 up against an 04.

Maybe Black Chrome if you are speeding and want to avoid LASER speed detectors. Light colors and chrome can give far greater detection...I'm told.

Also looking to order the grill for my 2001 ls430 does anyone know if the 01-03 grill has the vertical divider in the center of the grill like the 04?
