Would Colour Coding A Trd Grill Be Sacrilege?

scorcher · July 16, 2005

As much as I love my carbon fibre effect genuine TRD grille, I think it might look a little out of place on a Platinum Ice car.

Used to have quite a bit of carbon fibre on my black BMW 528 Sport, but don't really think it goes so well on a silver car.

Hmmm.

Should I spray the CF surround (and leave the mesh black) or try a different grille? Have seen a couple of cheaper fibre glass copies on eBay.

Opinions please!

Buy a vented CF bonnet and it will ease the pain

There is no problem with spraying it, many people do as they don't like the CF effect.

I got mine painted Astral Black!!!

I aint a big CF fan myself.

Whilst very tempting, a vented bonnet probably wouldn't get past the missus without her noticing :D

Might be getting a couple of other small embellishments, so would get the grille sprayed at the same time as them :)

I think if you sprayed it silver it would look sweet!

Why mate? Surely it would be cheaper to just paint it? Most people debadge the Lexus one's anyway so they end up looking just like a painted TRD grille - I always liked the badge though and wish it was bigger

thats just my personal preference. i have a 'sport' grille on mine cos my IS is a sport, and it looks like it belongs there, maybe i'm a purist at heart.

Right, I'm with you - I've got to admit I did wonder why I didn't get it with the car as standard seeing as it was a Sport model!
