I've always loved the Data Systems R-Spec grille as I think the opening of the Gialla grille is just too wide for my tastes. While I was happy with the authentic, the gap where the grille met the hood was just too hard to look past. Having owned both the authentic and replica version, I am much more pleased with Ionic's replica.

Authentic Data Systems R-Spec Grille:







Ionic Replica Data Systems R-Spec Grille:

 

Yeah, it does look better. Not a huge change, but for the owner, I know it is.

When it comes to bodykit fitment and material, sometimes (rarely) the replicas are actually better! Data grille, Nismo diffuser, etc... are the perfect examples of that.

 

i might ask ionic to help hook me up with one

 

Hah, now I understand what you meant by "Fish lips."


I don't quite like the Data Systems grille, but it looks pretty good on your G.

*Edit* A second look brings to mind "penguin"
lol

 

Looks great, now you have me tempted to pick one up.

 

subtle change but a good move. also i think u should go back to the clear corners to complete the look.

 

Give me yours.

 

Subtle change but def a better fitment. Never was a fan of the gialla style grilles I like OEM. You car is awesome btw its one clean DG.

 

is ionic selling the replicas?

looks sick btw

 

Looks good Cal, reminds me alot of my OEM fabbed grill on my G

 

How did you make that Hotel? I wanted to ask you but forgot.

 

looks great Calvin... i just got Ionics PM today

 

Looks good I miss my oem lip =(

 

Didnt mean to jack the thread, but had good buddies body shop cut out the 2 middle fins on the oem grill and fill in the gaps around the sides/top/and bottom with fiberglass. Retains perfect oem fitment!

 

I like the data grille way better than gialla.
