I second the full grill set... any plans for doing all 4?
I also like the look of the all black version without the Scion emblem... any plans for coming out with the all black option?

All black without the emblem is an opiton..
Actually the Trim is supposed to be like how the lexus grills are that is chromed.
You also have to remember that the grill is going to be made of billet. SO if you do black it all out it will not show the beutey of billet.
THe lower Grill in that same style IMO will be to over done. and the direction the fins are dont mach that low. We were trying to achiive a factory look as possible and looking at most Lexus they dont have an matching grill on the bottom.
It can be made if people want it and willing to pay more for a another peice of billet.

IF you ever notice all the lower grills on every car doesn't match the top grill. The lower grill is more of a vent and not the focal point of the front.
But if you make the lower go the opposite way from the top. I believe the lower one already runs horizontal.
There is huge response for a lower grill so if that's what the demand is calling for I don't see why not design one.
Price for the grill hasn't been set yet but you kind of gauge the price if you look at the price for the Eyelids.. or price another part that's made of billet like the camber shims for the 1st Gen xB. costing about 180.00 for just a small peice of aluminum..
The question is will everyone that's interested in the lower grill be willing to spend just as much as the top grill... you have to figure your buying now 2 grills. and this isn't like the ones on Ebay that they claim is a billet grill. This will be the real deal.

im def getting a upper grill if there is an option for a blacked out one marshall. I dont want the scion logo or chrome trim. most people already know that the big boxy looking thing is a scion or just that its unique.

I love the look of the Billet, but I think it wouldn't match the look I'm going for.. If there were a black out option, I'm in.

I hate the stock grill and other than the 6.0 release grill, this is the best I've seen. I think the chrome on the outside looks ok, but I vote for the all black, no emblem, because then there wouldn't be any chrome or polished aluminum on the outside of mine. Just my opinion.
