very nice!...looks like the fitment is good...but how much work was done to make it fit like that? did they remove the reinforcement bar? add more fiberglass by the headlight?

Do you guys think the car looks better with the black grill or chrome. I have both and can switch anytime.

Silver, so then you could sell me your black one! Honestly, it's hard to say. Slap it on and snap some pics and go from there. I'm having mine painted as well. Whatever you do, DON"T DO THE BIG STAR!!! But, that's just my opinion.

I'm partial to silver/chrome but the black does look pretty damn good.

I've always thought the Carlsson RS bumper to be too edgy, massive and ricey. This is the first car it actually looks good on (def because of the color)

In my opinion it doesn't flow well on the 208. It looks fine on the 209 though.
