My grille fitment was all off. Got it in on Monday and put it on. It sticks out on the sides and doesn't fit to the upper part of the bumper. Took photos and emailed them to the sell. 55tech... he told me that out of the 70 that he's sold, there have been about 3 that have had fitment issues. just my luck. Question anyone else have fit met issues with the grille fitting to the top of the bumper. Also the front of my car isn't uniform anymore if i put the grille on. The vents on the grille are gloss black... the vents on all of our cars are matte black. so id have to get those painted if i decided to get another grille. In sunlight it really stands out the diff between the gloss on the grille and the matte finish in the bumper vents.

If you plasti dip your grill, I suggest doing at least 3-4 layers. I only did 3 layers and it's starting to chip from rock chips. Other than that, it's a very nice and easy mod for just a few bucks

Hmm...Fitment should be better. I also have the black one, but here's the silver one installed on mine. You may need to adjust the T-bar to push the top part of the grille out a bit it seems...

Blue00r6, maybe if you adjust it a little, the gap will be uniform all the way across the top.

This and that.
I have been thinking about getting the matte black version above. It will go on a white car so that's why I am a bit hesitant. It looks good on a black car though. Or maybe I've been thinking I should get the glossy one since the roof is all black glossy and it would match that.
Also, I am not sure how it will be trying to install it myself so that's another thing stopping me from ordering it.

Changing the grill is pretty easy. If you do a search, there are guides on how to do it. Let me know if you have any questions on it.

I like the look but I don't like the fitment of the grill at the corner of the hood.

I know its dirty..Just installed the single bar grill. Matte black finish. Debating on changing the star back to the chrome star that was on the OEM grill.
