2klx470 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Guys, I read somewhere that when you strip off the black paint on the front grille you will end up with a chrome grille. Is this true? I do not want to experiment until I can verify this info for my 2000 LX470. Need your expertise here people. :whistles: RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitbullLX964 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 yes there is chrome behind that black grille. There is also chrome behind the paint around your rear lience plate area. Was told by a friend he used grafitti remover and it came right off on his GS300. I tried it once on a spare LX grille and it came off but i never got around to doing a good job on it and just threw it out as it was a chewed up spare i had gotten from a body shop. Go ahead and try it just dont use anything abrasive that could scratch the chrome. Post pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
