Gen6 Aftermarket black SE-style grille

I ran a quick search and didn't see this posted before. Has anyone installed this aftermarket SE-style grill? If so, what is the quality like?

I haven't used that company or that product, but it looks pretty nice. I don't like tight mesh grilles so this is a nice change.

Trojan,

IMO Stock LE grills look better than the verts. I think the Black Mesh of the SE is my favorite.

FlopShot,

Did you not like the idea of the stock LE grill with chrome?

Looks like a gen5 se mesh in a gen6 se shape. I still like the honeycomb better.

I like it, but I think it would look better if they took a photo with it actually on the car, instead of photoshopped in.

I have a hybrid, and although I like the hybrid grill, I've been thinking of an SE grill, except they don't make an SE in my color (Desert Sand Mica) so I would have to repaint an OEM SE grill.

Poor Camry. That tight mesh makes the front end look like it has a mustache.

Stock SE mesh all the way. I will be ordering one soon to facilitate the mounting of siren speakers and an LED stick behind the grille of my LE.

No no... wrong idea. My bone-stock LE is anything but rice. I'm a volunteer firefighter, and will be adding emergency lighting (red/blue/white) to the Camry as soon as I have time, along with several radios. My truck is fully equipped with such gear, but I'm driving the Cam now alot more as it is my commuter vehicle.

The stick will be red/blue and run essentially the full width of the grille. The LE slats won't pass enough light to look good - the SE mesh will. I'll also be adding wig-wag headlights, an LED stick in the window, and drop-in LEDs in some aftermarket fogs. Plus dual siren speakers behind the grille (there's a *lot* of space back there!)

FlopShot,

Aren't All the SE grills black regardless of car color?

Yes, But the outer most trim of the grille is the color of the car.
