grille
What are my options for grills with chrome and Lexus logo? I saw the one's on ebay but dont appeal to me. Is there a stock one later than 99 grille that has crhrome on it to upgrade my 99 grille?

I let mine sit with the paint stripper for about 3-4 mins. Don't let it sit for too long or the chemical will eat the plastic, its a very strong liquid. After around 3-4 mins get a brush, something like a rug brush, and brush all in it, then just hose clean. If there is still paint left repeat till happy with results.
You live in NJ, maybe you can check my grille out if you want in person.

Wait, so this product removes paint, but not chrome paint? I'm attached things to the grille and it feels like it's plastic, not metal. So Lexus painted the grille chrome, then black. So this product removes just the black paint? Sounds weird to me, but I guess it's true with those pictures...
