Someone needs to do a vertical billet grille, that could look awesome... Saw a PiTy Cruiser with one the other day and it looked hella gangsta...

I only want to change to billet for my middle and lower grills... with billet grill, it will more or less match the upper grill... otherwise the horizontal upper grill lines does not match the honey comb patterns of the mid and lower grills.

I have the billets (three) and it looks cool (bcp), but when I took them off for winter I thought :that looks even better: So... I'll prolly put them back on in the spring just to have something different. The Lava has just the top billet and it looks good, IMO.

The car is bling for sure! Lexus emblem just makes me shake my head in disgust.

I like the Lexus emblem...it's unique, unlike a lot of the cookie cutter mods that I see on almost everyone's xB. Shake your head all you want, it's not your car so don't lose any sleep over it at night.

Billet grilles are a nice addition. It's something I've been meaning to add for a while now but just have never gotten around to it. :doh:

Mark,


Where did you get your grille from? I am looking for that style, or just a plain one without the BB emblem.

Do something different with your lava: get a regular ridgy grill painted orange.

What I would like to see is someone to make the lower two sections of billet grill's for the RS1 to match the factory billet grill .....

Granted, there are a few companies that are making them, but they are not the same quality nor do they match !

If some would make the lower town matches, with same material, same likeness and such ...

I would be the first to buy them !
