UTR has been talk'n this grill crap for over two years now and this is what ya get? Glad I sold my car Originally Posted by RXM
Our cars are what, like 3 years old now and that wasn't enough time for R&D to take time to make it fit without the end user having to modifying it??? Sounds like someone did a sh!tty job to make a quick buck.

I am lucky, I have a friend that has a body shop and hooks me up. He painted my CF hood with 6 coats of clear and did my grille all for $100. But I would guess a normal shop would be $100-150.

That is great.

Thank you very much.
Yeah the grille is either a hit or miss depending on the car. I would like to see on a different color car. If you car has some exterior mods I think it looks good.

Yeah I have had them for ~6-7 months. I did the install myself, it's not hard but does take some time. If you are interested in a kit let me know and I will pass down what I have learned doing mine so you don't make the same mistakes I did.

I don't like the grille in general, but I think it looks good on your car! It just goes well with the whole front (hood, bumper, lights)... I love the lights! I still call them angel eyes.
I still call them angel eyes most of the time too. More people know what I am talking about that way.
I agree with your opinion. It takes the right car to make this look good. It is not one of those mods like larger wheels and a drop that look good on every G.
I will try to get some better pictures today.

Thought I'd add to this thread instead of creating a new one. ttrank is correct in his description on the fitment stated above. I also had to glue some of the clips back on, as they came undone (cheap foam doublesided tape that they used to hold them in place). I also had a gap at the bottom of the grille & will need to get some good 3M doublesided tape to close it up.
I'm just upset that the time they spent on R&D for this product, and the price that's paid, this thing should fit with no modifications whatsoever, right out of the box! It's not like they didn't test this thing out on an actual sedan
.
The picts below are without adding 3M tape at the bottom, so you can see there's an evident gap at the bottom and up top, the grille is uneven, but flush w/ and touching the hood. I've also included a shot w/ the OEM grille to show you how different it makes the car look. In the end, I like it, but they really suck at making grilles fit properly..... Partial refund perhaps to an unhappy customer????

That looks like it had no R&D work put in at all. The measurements could have been captured properly in 2 minutes with a ruler and basic geometry skills.Originally Posted by JustBrilliantX
