Default Need help with grill for RX300

Hi all,
I would like to change my stock grille. What are my options? I know that RMM grille is $264+shipping+paint job(thru Rod Millen store). Silver Sport Edition grille is about $400. JAOS makes one also it is about $350 including shipping. Does any one knows is there anyone else makes grilles for RX300? How much are they? How do they install? Any response would be appreciated. Thanks.

Erebuni makes a nice grill. Here is a link Erebuni
Toms also makes a nice one Toms
There are several others on that website Here
One of my favorites is this one from Gialla Another fav. by Auto Couture

Unfortunately the last two I believe you have to import.

Other options include the newer style '01+ RX grill, other than the Coach Edition grill which is like the SilverSport grill. Personally I like the JDM Harrier grill. It looks just like the OEM RX grill but with the Toyota Harrier logo instead of the Lexus "L".

This last one is a pic of the '01+ RX grill. Compared to the '99-'00, the vertical slats are more spaced out and have chrome on them. Also, the "L" logo is larger.

Default My favorites...

I like the Tom's and the "cruising sport-style" grilles the best... I really want the Tom's, but it's more $$$ plus it's not painted... Anybody know if the Tom's logo can be easily removed and/or replaced by the "L"?
The cruising sport-style isn't a bad second choice plus it comes painted in silver... hmmm...
Although I may just chrome my stock '01 grille to match my chrome OEM rims...
I think a grille will be my next mod, but not sure... Decisions, decisions.

That Steve Ganz search will find a billet grille, similar to the JAOS, that's being sold by Customlexus through Ganz. It may even be a JAOS.

The logo was added on and can be removed.

Here's a pic.

Thanks all you guys for replies. I just have few more question. Does anyone out there have EREBUNI grille? How does it get installed? Where did you buy it? Is there mesh in between openings or is it just an open space?
I called few places today so far the cheapest I found is $200 including shipping, but it needs paint job.
My second choice is RMM grille. Is RMM only website that sells it? Can I get it somewhere cheaper? RMM selles it for $264+shipping +paint job(I have to find a body shop to paint it).
Also I like GIALLA and Auto-Couture grilles.

Do you mind me asking how much was the paint? Where did you get it? How much is needed to paint the grille? Was it from Lexus dealer or aftermarket paint? How hard was it to install?
