The larger wheel diamete would slightly affect the mpg computer, mileage, etc...but you can still do it.

As far as a black grill, AIT makes one, but it has a fugly center "tooth" thing.

Stillen has the front fascia which also changes the front grill. Expensive, but gives your sedan a sportier look.

There is a rumor that Stillen may make a normal front "by itself" grill, but it's a rumor so far.

Ebay has a grill, but I would recommend NOT to get it, lacks the clips or mount points on the bottom of the grill.

You can always paint it yourelf, there was a person who chopped their grill and repainted it...

NOSHIFT's Alti

He made it himself.

I bought some grey vinyl (transparent) that BAT uses , and I might see how the grill will lok if I overlay the Chrome.

and mesh for the lower grill area. Also, on some angles, the left side, you can see the washer fluid can. maybe a double mesh can cover it better.

I believe so, twhen the kits first came out, people received them without the lower grills. Stillen has the lower grills though i believe.

If you do plan on getting it, ask Josh from Stillen if they come with the lower grills now or not, they may have changed it. Nice kit, a little too expensive for me and a lot less aggressive than the AIT kit.
