Default Painted OEM Grille

I bought a new OEM bumper and had it painted. I also gave them my grille an had them paint it to match. I am pretty happy with the new look!

The old one had a bunch of chips, looked like crap, was re-sprayed by the previous owner and not prepped correctly. I was able to get a brand new one from my dealer for $308. It would have been that much to refinish my old one. I wanted to have a perfect one and then I am going to clear-bra it to keep it nice for awhile. Most of my driving is freeway and the front bumper takes a beating.

I have a black 2007 Crown Vic LX Sport model, which came with the matching black grill and have always loved the way it looked. Never thought it could look as good on a Lexus. Hmmmmm. I now own a black LS460. You've got me thinking.

That looks REALLLLLY nice ! Its a clean and elegant look ans since its black it looks aggressive as well. I have always done additional paint work to all my cars. Its a nice subtle upgrade that really "modernizes' the look of the car. Great Job !
