CL Sport Grill Beware!!

I just recieved my CL type sport grill from Performance products, the quality of the housing that holds the center star is horrible, it looks completely aftermarket and cheesy, I am having it modded and will post pics when it's done.

You should be scared, do not buy that grill unless you intend to modify it. Any body shop will easily fix it for you. The grayish center plastic housing, must be painted gloss black. It should be done by Tuesday.

The Expression CL style grille is much nicer, but double the price. The border is fiberglass that has to be painted the body color. My dealer will also paint the ribs except for the chrome strips on the front of the ribs. The grille appears similar in quality to the stock CL grille.

I love the CL style grill with the sporty look of the new E series, not to mention the mods I am doing to it. It should be done Tuesday (I'll post pics.)
The star elimination is a must, the star looks so out of place on such a sporty car.

Thanks,
Have you seen the grill in person? When you get it, we will compare pics and quality of my modded grill, you're right sure is expensive.

I delivered the grille to my dealer to paint and install on the car. As soon as I take delivery, I'll post pics. I also have the spoiler and the flat hood star. I got them for 22% off the listed prices.
