Hi all.
Got my grill delivered today.
And i installed it just now. Looks cool! Install is a breeze.
BUT (yup, there's but). I have euro ls, and in euro LS we have plastic shield behind the emblem and lower half of the grill, which is secured by shims, which catch the plastic tabs, embedded into the original grill. I dunno what this shield is for (cosmetics or adjusting airflow), but new ebay grill DOES NOT have these tabs.
I had to improvise with double sided sticky tape to somewhat hold it in place for now.
Otherwise - i'm pretty happy with my purchase! All holes match, everything matches and grill looks great for under-100usd part.

It's not because your car is Euro that it has the plastic thing. It's because you have Dynamic Cruise Control. We have LS430 here in the USA with the plastic behind the emblem as well

nope, it's not DCC (euros rarely have that) and it's not just behind the emblem.
