The grill was painted with Krylon (gunmetal) not sure of the actual name of the color. The emblem is black pearl and grill surround is matt black (plastidip). The color / texture combo seems to flow well together with SGM.

Lip is INGs rep. I originally had a Vertex front but it was recently cracked from tire debris on the hwy.

Work on the grill was a DIY $12.

Lip was purchased used from a local ex-member. I believe Ebay has them for $112 (unpainted) with free shipping in US

I think hes dropped on coils b/c hes tucking tire in the rear.

The wheels look like either Work Emotions or Rota Torques, hard to tell without the center caps.

Hopefully the OP can post and confirm
