G550 Bull Bar Cover

Hey,
I'm new to the forum. Currently own a 2019 G550.... After searching everywhere for the bull bar cover, I just made my own.

Let me know what you guys think.

I ordered a G63 cover and with the body shop we cut it and trimmed it to make it fit...
I told them to make at least 10 more. A bunch of people I know want them.

Now that you've removed the bull bar, can the dealer activate the surround cameras?

I'm not sure. I see on the grill where the front camera is suppose to be. But it's just a dummy looking camera. (that's what it looks like)

I have heard that the camera is deactivated at Port here in the US or just prior to shipping into the US. This is all due to the bull bar blocking the camera and when the car tested with DOT or EPA or something.

I am not sure but it seems this never happened; however, if someone with a 3D printer wants to make a few bucks there is a market for them.

I saw that but I did not think they called it the G550 overseas so I guessed it might work...too bad they have so many different bumpers!

Hi there,
I realize this is a long time ago post but can you tell me the part number for the G63 cover that you used?
Thanks!

I found a G550 that had the Brush Bar removed and from what it appears covers made to cover the holes. It is at Lexus of Arlington (https://www.lexusofarlington.com/use...bd6c1e79b5.htm) and tried to get some close-ups of the front bumper but they told me they could not email them from a phone (really?). It would be interesting to see it in person so if anyone is in that area stop by and see how it is made, and take some pics:

That guy is gone, or he died or something since no one has been able to get in touch with him. But if you do let us know. Otherwise, stay tuned since a member here has been working on some with our help and he should be posting ordering info soon.
