Gen6 Which Grille?

I want to get a new grille for my car, the chrome trims arent doing it for me anymore. I was watching a red SE grille on eBay but the price has already jumped up to $142 + S&H, which isnt worth it IMO. So I was wondering if I should get a billet grille, or the E&G one instead.

If it were me, i would eithier keep the one you have, or get the SE grille. IMO the ones on the gray and red camrys just don't look good and they're too "bling, bling". But thats just me. I like your grille, nice and neat, gives you a little bit of chrome, but not too much. If you do the same thing to the bottom part of the grille (in the bumper, about two chrome lines), and install fog lights, it would change the front look.

Billet is ugly and looks super cheap.

E&G looks very classy. The outside has too much chrome for me but it's the best looking grill out there.

The SE grill looks great too, and is just BARELY beat out by the E&G in my opinion.

since you have gunmetal wheels, i'd go with the black se grille. if the ebay one is too high, you can always order them from one of those online toyota stores. the billet ones are reserved for those bling wannabe owners.

I was never a huge fan of the billet grilles, but I see them alot on pick-ups and they look pretty nice on them, but not so much on cars. If the E&G grille had a bit thinner trim then I wouldnt hesitate to buy it.

I found a site that sells SE grilles (factory) for around $112, but they dont have the Barcelona Red

I'm not a huge fan of the hybrid grille, I want to try to make my Camry a bit sportier (if you could consider any Camry sporty, haha).

SE or Hybrid. Being your wheels are dark, I'd go with the SE. JMO.

SE Grill. You wont regret it.

It would better suit the theme you are going for and it will offset your wheels perfectly. The E&G in my opinion has too much chrome for your car.

They're all butt ugly aside from the SE one. Keep your stock grille or get the SE.

The front of the Camry does look like an International truck but those billet grilles just look out of place.
