Damn! I love the grill!

This side angle, just shows how dope it is. Look at the quality and fitment. You don't get that **** from the cheap **** made in Asia.

held the grille today. it weight next to nothing. I'd say around 1lb tops.

I took some quick pics while they're marking it down for fitment.

The surrounds come off easily, there are the three torx screws then the whole grill/ring assembly comes off. Flip it over and there are four I believe plastic clips holding the ring onto the grill. Five minutes and it is off.

hmm...don't think they will. from helping the development process this is made to be Dry Carbon only, but I think there's a chance to have a Kevlar version. I just got the first finalized pre-production sample today that they want me to show tomorrow at the SoCal meet. fitment's 100% which I'm still in
