I remember that grille, I've seen it on someone's website and I don't know which exactly it was, but I know it was either the Taiwan version of the camry or the Japan camry front grille. The ebay I saw or was posted few months ago that was selling chrome z or t or whatever alphabet style shape grille don't even look like that, and the ebay was more of a complete cover of chrome filling all the space gap in front of it.
aww.. the us gets screwed over when it comes to OEM accesories on cars... that car got side markers, chrome door handles and those headlights are not the ones we get over here....dang...

it's like comparing the camry to austrialia's camry with their sportivo grille, their option of either our regular stock spoiler, while they have two different sizes a high spoiler and a medium spoiler height, and i can't forget about their sportivo sport suspension, now that is some hefty package that those austrailian people have. all in all some people are craving about their sportivo grille like me however, it's over 300 dollars for their stock grille
the grille on teh first pic is pretty clean, looks like its cousin es300

Actually, I'm sure this is the reason why so many of the foreign camry versions look more upscale than here. Toyota doesn't want its bread and butter Camry to look too similar to its Lexus cousin by using too similar of body accents such as the aggressive looking grill, the chrome accents on the doors, tails, etc... it would resemble the ES330 too closely. And the US is the only market (we're the only one's with the spending power) where Lexus can be marketed as successfully as it is.
In most other countries such as in Asia and the middle east, the Camry is the end of the line, in terms of higher end cars for Toyota... so accordingly, they've got to look the part.
