let me know which way you go, i MIGHT be intrested in the RS grille ifyou're willing to part, but i may go with the 5.5 SE grille..first i need new brakes! lol

I have another one stored incase mine ever gets broken. I wasn't sure how long that they'd be around to purchase if I needed one later. I can always sell it if I get rid of the car.

johnnyzee: I did get the stainless mesh from the UK. The company was called either Lockwood Industries or Lockwood International. After putting it in my upper grille I ordered more for the lower grille. Of course it cost me alot to do it that way because the shipping isn't cheap. Neither was the mesh.

I just did another cosmetic/appearance mod to the Camry. I'll post some pics later today or tomorrow.

cool, thanks man, my mesh is starting to bug me, it needs a painting but would prefer a complete replacement with that sexified mesh of yours

This is the place: http://www.superdials.com/ccp51/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl

It seems to be cheaper than over a year ago too.

Their service is spectacular!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah!!!!!!!
that's some sweet mesh.

Do me a favour...
Post up a bigger picture of the mesh, on a black backround rather than blue, and a little over 2 feet wide. This way I can print it out and glue it over my existing mesh until i order up the real stuff.

my mesh is no longer worthy.

Will do sir. I'm trying to see how much does it cost to paint the RS grill ..because the chrome doesn't go with the whole silver/black(gunmetal) thing I'm doing.

depends what colour you're painting it, if black, do it yourself. if colour matching, same thing, buy the can of colour match and voila. if you're really set on pro painting, costs will be 50 - 100 bux
