Blitz grill color matched without optional emblem holder
Joe is correct, there wasnt any modification required, its pretty straight forward unlike the GS grill (requires dropping the bumper I believe). The IS X50 grill is just time consuming due to popping all the clips out for the weather strip and just being cautious on seperating the factory grill insert from the outter from of the grill. And if you want to save like $15 bucks and reuse the factory "L" emblem, you can just use a hair dryer or heat gun to help in removing it from the factory piece. But of course this is only if you choose to purchase the Blitz optional emblem holder which is made of fiberglass, a very nice piece I may add, but for $350 msrp I dont think many will buy it. Or not many people know about that piece at all. So all in all the pieces are $1050 msrp. Too bad i didnt color match the chrome portion of the grill to color matched, probably would've looked much better.

they are pretty good the only thing wrong with it is that mine did not come painted, but there is a small gap at the bottom,(can be fixed with 3M tape) cant see it unless u look really close. i would recomend this link for diy painting.

The emblem is OEM...
The Blitz L Bracket holder is a nice piece...
You can see a better pic of it here: Blitz Grill
