2008 Sport Grille vs. Non-sport Grille

[Europeenne]

i really can't distinguish between the 2, searching the part numbers just brings back so much mix and match, i know the sport grille is supposed to be midnight black, but please help me distinguish

also will a 2008 non-sport grille without adjustment fit onto a 08 sport front bumper?








^ is this last 1 the midnight 1 or was it simply plastidipped?


can you help point out which is which here? all pics from past threads on our forums

There is no difference between a sport and non sport 08+ grille, they're the same. The last picture you posted is of the OEM midnight grille.

then what are the 1st 3 of?

They look like the stock grill to me. Looks like my grill before I plastidipped it.

i'm seeing both these ^ listed as 2008, but there obviously seems to be a difference to me





^ this is the exact grille (exact picture of car it'll be coming off of) i found for a good deal, could anyone tell me if it's the 1 in the 1st pic or 2nd of this post... i know it's an awful pic/angle

[DoN_BLaZe34]

The 1st 3 pictures are 08+ grilles... there's a difference between the 06/07 vs. the 08+ grille but there is no difference between the sport and non-sport models for each respectively

Actually 08-10 grilles sport and non sport are different from each other very hard to tell from pictures but
Non sport grille- fully chrome
Sport- chrome except for the bows on the inside they are black
And there is the midnight black with chrome edges and center black

1st pic is 06/07 grilles they will not fit an 08+ (technically they will if you want to work it in)
2nd pic is 08+ sport grilles

and Partysan7 is correct

I stand corrected. Thanks guys and sorry Euro for the wrong info

here's some pix of the 08 Midnight black grille I picked up when doing the bumper swap...notice how it came with a chrome strip at the bottom...I changed it up a little by painting that chrome piece black, and on my hood - the strip that comes chrome, I had it color matched to my car (diamond graphite)...to me it looked more uniform removing the chrome pieces...
