so i've been looking for a new grille for the lexus, but every one i saw online was a cheap pos. so i searched a lexus board and came across an easy way to chrome lexus grilles yourself. apparently my gs had a chrome grille originally but lexus painted over them, so underneath the paint is perfect chrome! it took me a total of 45 minutes and i love the result. check it out!

nothing after the T5 swap. just enjoying it. prolly need to think about a motor rebuild sooner rather than later, i think the 42 year old motor is starting to call it quits ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

it's not a huge change, didn't want a big garish grille, heres a bigger pic where you can see it better, i just did the fronts of the spokes, so the edges are still grey
