Does anyone make one? I haven't seen one except for a blingbling type. Is there any interest in a custom fibre glass grille with mesh.
I have a question about the grilles on the Camry. When you pull the grille off does it leave a notch on the hood where the logo is at. I cannot tell I know the emblem sticks up past the hoods edge or right on it.

I already tried this. I made a thread about interest in making a group buy for replicas of my grill. I bought my grill for $270 shipped plus paint. I was offering the grill for $230. Only like 4 people were interested, so I said screw it.

Can you post a picture of this grille..

$230 - $270. alot of money for a grille. I'm thinking more around $120. - $150. unpainted

Yes, but my grill is not custom. My grill is an actual Toyota part from Australia, and my particular grill is the last one ever built. I paid around $370 total after paint, and it was worth every penny. I wasn't offering to make a custom grill and sell it... I was offering to make replicas.

That's what I'm thinking of making..no one can order that grille from TRD anymore. Do most people like that style..

Well, it wasn't from TRD. I just put a TRD emblem on there. But when I first got it, it was just the fiberglass frame with a mesh insert. But it has a Toyota part number on the back. I imported it from Toyota of Australia. They only made a limited number of these, and came as an option on the Australian Camry Sportivo (their version of the SE).

I've gotten very many compliments on the grill, and quite a few people on TN have offered me money for it, and I've declined every time (and still would). Sadly, when I tried a group buy, only 4 were interested, and making a replica for 4 people wasn't worth my time.

$108.00! Shit, I paid $50.00 shipped for mine and I sanded it, painted it, took off the RS emblem then put my TRD emblem on it.

item# 170090027493

but how do they look close up? - the OEM ones (AUS ones) are slightly curved following a slimeline fashion. But as I can see from the picture on ebay, is this grille set flat?

can someone post a close-up look please?

Thank you!
