Let me be the first to say. I'm disappointed.

It doesn't look bad, I think it's an improvment. but it's just too much like the stock grill - the burger.

you do realise that the entire reason everyones so anctious(sp?) to get a new replacement grill isnt nessesarily the grill itself? it's the chrome mustache that you guys left on the car. also I have the same feelingsabout it as Rolling Estonian, disapointing, looks like you pulled the hamburger logo off the stock grill. Ill be happy when stillen releases theirs. good luck with this.

The problem with that is the mustache is not part of the grille. The Grille is just the black honeycomb, and it clips into the stock fascia. The mustache is part of the fascia, in order to get rid of it you need to replace the fascia, or do some really careful custom bodywork.

the grill, the emblem and the mustaches can all be separated, however when you remove the mustaches it looks weird cuz it overlaps ........

the more i look at it the more i think there's nothing custom about it except the burger has been removed. the pattern should keep going but it stops in the middle. what's up with that? tell them to get back to the drawing board because this grill isn't going to sell. i doubt anyone would even jump on it for a $20 shipped group buy.

they should have matched the honeycomb design... those 3 bars now stand out... like a sore thumb now. i guess im getting the stillen version for sure now lol

This is what Razah wanted from Golden Customs and he got exactly what he wanted so don't talk of the craftsmanship - it was made to orderALSOThis grille is NOT the one that Golden Customs will be making in numbers for the coupe. This was just a grille that Razah wanted and he got it. Like we said before AFTER Razah's grille is complete we would start building the mesh grille. I'll keep you guys posted on that.

Oh god, thank you. I was heartbroken when I thought this was the NEW grille for the coupe.

If the burger could just be pulled off, we all would have done it before... Some people have overlays ontop of the burger... Bottom line, hes the only one without a whole stillen bumper, who doesnt have a burger...

This was also not made for mass production... the definition of "custom"He told them what HE wanted and thats what HE got... Some people like mustard on hot dogs, some dont... This couldnt be a group buy because it was custom fabricated... it wasnt some injection mold or something like that... You may not like the design, but you cant say its not custom.

it's not custom and more importantly, it doesn't look custom. it's a take off of the original that looks much worse than the original. all i could say is, "what the hell is the point and why would you waste your time?"

I think he's happy with it and that's all that matters. To each his own right? For example, I hate mustard on my hotdog
