It comes in chrome and grey like I have. No painted applications if that is what you were thinking. It will fit though. This 96 4runner with an 02 style grill. So I would assume a 96 grill would fit on an 02 4runner.

i'm thinking i'll need a gray 96-98 one, the chrome would be harder to paint black.

Don't know if the '96 grille will fit in the '02 but mine was just plastic. So it's easy to lightly sand and spray paint to whatever quality and color you desire.
Here's an example.

He isn't going to use the whole grill, just the lettering from the LC. There is a surf in Japan that did it. Looks pretty sweet, and if you do get rid of the grill you can give it to Brian. He needs it more than I do, and it would look better on his anyway 
. Good luck on the mod! Are you going to do a mesh grill at the same time like the surf did? or something new?

that looks sick! thanks for the photochop!
yeah, you're right about the newer LC "toyota". i'd prefer one from an FJ40, but i'm guessing those are hard to come by.

I found a grille on Ebay for 20 bucks. Nice chrome '98. 
I'll see how this looks with chrome as I have a lot of chrome on my Runner...I would go the painted route, but the Toyota body shop had a hella time with my spoiler...Horizon Blue is very tough to match, a hint of violet pearl. Anywho, there are a few LC parts joints on the net...NOS LC grille emblems run abot 50-80 bucks...depending on the style. I believe the chrome one is cheaper than the white one (which I think Satoshi used) so it's not gonna be a cheapo mod. 
I'll see if my friend can weld up a frame and mounting tabs, tack on the mesh and maybe powdercoat black...I have my eyes on a billet insert if all else fails.
