SP Racing Grill?

http://www.silviaparts.com/g35/
Anyone have this grill? looks good and for a nice price. Sounds like a sweet deal for $180.

I've got the Silvia Parts grill in carbon fiber and love how it turned out. Feel free to PM me if you've got any questions.

hm... fitment looks like its off.. the middle top part of the grill..

I personally recommend the UT grill. Friend has it on his car and it looks perfect.. No fitment problems. Very much like OEM quality IMO..

I'd recommend the real Gialla grille. For sure you wont have any fitment issues

Yea but fitment with the new grills has been corrected, plus its a good $100 cheaper then the Gialla Grill (and there's a CF option ). For those that have the older styles, there a DIY to fix the fitment issue.

CRAP!!

I have had the Silvia Parts grill installed for about 5 months now.

I was washing my car today and could not believe what I saw....I almost cried!

At first I thought it was a scratch....but no...

My grill has what appears to be stress cracks in the paint ...starting to develop all around it!

Anyone else taken a close look lately??

Damn that sucks, have you tried contacting SP yet? Just out of curiousity how is it mounted? Did you use only the 4 snap in points up top or something different?

If somebody would make this for the sedan they would make a ton of loot.

Keep a close eye on your SP grill.....mine just started to look like crap!

It is really wierd.....the paint is starting to crack all around the face....
My car is only hand washed by me, so I know it is not damage.

I contacted SP and they said tough luck....we only do exchanges within 14 days!
