Default What Grill is this?

Does anybody know which company makes this Grill? Its shown on the Fabulous' Various LS460, but on their website that is not part of their product. It only showed front/rear/trunk spoilers.

thanks!

hard to say, if it's like the 06 sc430, then you can't just take away the emblem coz' there is a back plate. i have been looking to confirm that as well. i remember reading/hearing somewhere that it's aftermarket

I'd have to go with Robarapta and say it's a debadged OEM grill. If it was made/sold by Fabulous, they would list it in their catalogue.

i will see if i can swing by the dealership this weekend to see if the front emblem can be easily detached (with no back plate) to make it look like the fabulous one

but phil, it should be easy for you

Just checked. No, I can't.

It must be a custom grill based on the stock grill...

yup, that's my guess then. this is an aftermarket unit but surprisingly not by fabulous. maybe they make this only one and have yet to be able to put it to mass production?

I handwash my LS a lot, and the bars that butt up to the emblem are not continuous (I've removed many bugs from there). So it maybe is modified with the badge removed (difficult), however it looks too perfect. My guess is it's photo-chopped... In fact, the car's front wheels look awfully close to those stairs, almost like the whole car was morphed into them...

If you look very closely to the picture, there is a little bit of a faint blue shadow behind the grill where the emblem should be...

Photoshop? Or is something behind where the emblem should be?

Red face You're right!

Yes, the roof reflections off the hood and the windshield would be pretty hard to imitate.
