A Grill Badge? I've actually never seen one of those before. The US Sportlines had a badge on the front quarter panel but that was it for the exterior. Thanks 
Not sure I'd get it, its pricey.
I need to get the car aligned... probably won't happen till after Christmas. I'm spending the week out of town. The brief mini review - it feels really solid. Minimal body roll, sticks to the road. If you can imagine a jack in the box bouncing around on the end of his spring. Moving side to side before settling. That was OE, with the new suspension its more like a slab of rock an inch thick and ten feet square.

Any pictures Eliot?
Anyways, did you ever get a chance to install the Sportline Subframe bushings? I'm looking into getting those and want your thoughts about them - if I should give it the green light or not. Also, how much did you pick them up for?

I ended up ordering two (rather than four) and of the wrong kind. I'll have to check my mechanics paperwork. He said he got the sportline versions but that something I want to check. He ordered and installed them without calling me.
Course it also took his man 10 hours to install the K-Mac kit and he charged me for only one of them.
I'm currently in Boston and won't be back till friday. I don't think I'll be able to go by the dealership before next week. Have work this weekend
As to offering an opinion on the subframe... as I did it all at once its hard to tell where the improvements come from. I still need to get an alignment as well. Currently the camber is not the same in the rear and its easy to loose control of the backend.

Not dead but I've just moved and I don't have internet yet (Comcast 
)
I have all the kit sitting in my living room. Tentative plans to drop the parts off at the paintshop on Thursday. They want to see them before they'll give an estimate. I also need to get my hands on the install guides for the front spoiler. I have one or two questions on it.
Photos as soon as I have internet again.
