ill post my pics up when i get home from work 
, all i can say from fake or real is if you buy from the manufacture themselves then you got the LX-mode if they are outsourcing their grill then it will be labled as a diffrent name. Can't still be called LX-mode :P due to it comming in two color. One of the reason why i was willing to pay higher for the real deal theres good vendors here in CL who got me this grill

i hope this is not the case, becasue i bought mine from a vendor here and they had 2 options, chrome or unpainted. I got the unpainted one because chrome would be too much chrome for me. I'm pretty sure they are authentic since they are an authorized dealer for lx-mode, and a pretty well known shop.

ie: customize it to integrate the OEM emblem and redo the plastic so nobody can steal the emblem. Sure its a knock off but its a grille

I don't know who is right, but I will say this: just because LX-Mode doesn't sell/market it as unpainted doesn't mean it's not a real LX-mode grille.
There are many items out on the market that are manufactured by one company and then packaged/labeled for another (ie- outsourcing).
Of course, I'd probably make sure I bought from a reputable CL vendor......

but...
either way... if your not about name branding and stuff.. and u can get one for cheaper than the other.. then definately go for it... the grill is a peice of plastic so just because one is authentic and the other is aftermarket.. its not gonna make any difference in performance or anything.. hahahha.. but for those label *****s (myself included) i prefer paying extra just to make sure its the "real" deal.
