Its authentic alright. Im not sure what you mean by gap issues, but the space between the hood and grill is the weatherstrip that is attached to the hood, no empty space

 

its authentic because i sold it to him and i know where its from =) he is right, there is a weatherstrip from the hood to the grill.

it could be the angle of his picture but here is the grill on my car again (from my for sale thread)



*no gap

 

Even in your pic, you can see that the gap in the middle of the hood is slightly more than at the edges, look at Devil Dog's pics to see what I mean, his follows the curves of the hood more from what I can see, granted his is still unpainted.

 

i think i see what you mean

but if the authentic one has a gap.. then.. well.. i guess its overs hahah

you have to be really **** to have something like that bother you though

 

I wonder if the grill sags over time, is it fiberglass or frp? Becuase I think FRP has a tendancy to sag a little bit.

 

i think its fiberglass? i didnt have it for all that long.. maybe a couple months?

 

ah, i see what redlude is saying now.

 

How did you put the symbol in the grille. thanx for the help

 

Its the same emblem that the trunk has

 

stick the trunk emblem on it with 3m double sided tape

 

thanks for the before and after pics!

 

 

mine jsut came in. cant wait to install it.
