as u can see there is a gap not too big but i no feeling that gap IMO also i gotta make fitment on those clip ,some of them i trimmed a lil bit i have to say honestly that grill is not made by good plastic or fiber it is cheap plastic like u cant bend at all but look good tho i painted mesh silver and back bar black.

...pile full of awsome upgrades. The ride is looking really nice.

From the pics it looks like the new grill matches the lower mesh pretty good too.

Great stuff. I really gotta get my act together and come meet up with some of you around here. I've been so busy, and honestly i'll be embarrassed since I still have nasty scratches all over my car from when i had my car VALET'd and someone mashed it up.

Good work.

I think I now see why I like this grill on ESP's car so much.... its because he color matched the grill... by color matching the grill, you eliminate two HUGE eye sores!...

1. The gaps around the edges and the sides

2. The unequal, non parallel lines taht are created by the bottom of the hood in one color, and the top of the grill in the black color.

Once again, seeing this not color matched is REALLY an eyesore, and to be honest, it makes the grill look cheap and poorly designed. But again, I think colormatching like ESP may eliminate this effect.

Or it may just be because ESP's car is black, and that also helps eliminate the poorly constructed grille.

I'm so disappointed in this grille after seeing on every car except ESP's. And I'm not dowing you guys (grill owners) I'm downing CMOD.

And let's be honest fellas, perhaps this is the reason Stillen didn't want to release a grille for us... as Kyle stated, it would have been expensive to get a good grille that fits perfectly...

C-MOD did a C-MINUS job constructing this grill IMO

Well whenever you're ready to meet up, let me know. I'm down to take a ride and I'm sure Bravey would be down for it too.

No need to be embarrassed about your scratches and such. Valet parking ftl
