Seeing how much interest there is in Gialla grill

Well, the grille is awesome. And looks exactly like the real one.

Well i was parked side by side with 2 "genuine Giallas" at our last meet......
And there was absoutly NO visual difference in the fittment of my SilviaParts grill. It is a quality piece.
I think is is the angles and lighting in some of the pics that make the gap look bigger.

1Gig,
I have to admit, my post was totally inappropriate as stated. Xmas party last night got the best of me.
Anyway..... I guess I was just trying to avoid the "beating a dead horse" situation. We have the product and can attest to the fitment. As OldVFRGuy stated, it must be the angles, lighting, etc. Kinda like those crappy pics people take of us that we hate when we see........ 
We cool? I really didn't mean to offend.

EG35, it's all good!! Do keep in mind, this is a free forum.
Happy Holidays to all.
Peace!!
what type of paint is used on the mesh part? I've had grills painted before and the paint slowly starts to flake off and looks like crap.
Would clear coating the grill after painting possibly help this?

We use car paint to paint the mesh (the brand is DuPont), yes, clear coating it would help a little.
my grill 2 or 3 parts of the mest are silver......dunno if you guys just missed those parts or the paint already chipped off.....but i guess ill have to go and paint it????? touch up paint?
Here are pics of my ride with the grill.
Before today, i was pretty unhappy with the fitment.
I took it off and modified it a little and now it's a lot better.
Did my best to minimize the gap between the hood and the grill.
Since my ride is Diamond Graphite, the gap looks worse than it looks on the darker Twilight Blue or Obsidian Black. But after my modifications, it looks 100 times better and i'm happy with it. (for now...)
