Bulletproof charges about $315 plus shipping and then you have to get it painted. Why go authentic for such a small piece when you can pay half for a replica thats identical? No fitment issues for me

yeh but you got ripped off for paint (if you had actually paid for it lol)

120 + 44 to do a grille? im getting my skirts done for 180 (for everything)

for you, the authentic gialla + paint wouldnt have been that much more lol

For those with authentic Gialla grill...

          I'm still trying to figure out if I should paint my SP grill and try it on with the custommesh.com's mesh installed, or just say screw it and go with the authentic deal. Here are a couple of pix, notice the slight bulging where the mesh retainers are bonded into the grill:

          btw, my sp grille looked better with the customautomesh than it did with the wire mesh that came with it
