Default Badgeless grill!!!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a badgeless grill for around 150 bucks? Not really wanting to go the ebay route.

Considering how long most parts have been out of production, I think finding one used is going to be your only option.

Badgeless grill. Why would you want your Lexus to not look like a Lexus? Just my opinion.

for one I cant stand the non symmetrical lexus emblem. id rather pop a Toyota emblem in there. Plus, I have the only ls430 In my town. I feel like if its debadged itll pique even more curiosity rather than seeing the lexus logo and knowingwhat it is already

I wanted a black grill without the badges but the lowest price I ever found was $450 with most being $600 or more.... Ended up with an OEM black grill replacing the grey one.....

Maybe some one is selling a used after market grill without badges but you will be lucky if all they want is $150.....

They used to be under $200 new. I used to own a few. You can get them from Japan on Yahoo Auto Auctions for a good price.

Yeah they used to have them for under $100. I could never find one decently priced. I think there are some new ones that are made by companies like fabulous but they are crazy expensive.

message @vipsushah on instagram, great source for LS parts. they usually have badgeless grills for sale.

if you dont have IG, they also list their email as vipsushah@gmail.com

edit: since april, they've posted three grills for 01-03s so it's likely they have some still if you reach out
