Default Installed my F-Sport Grille

it was mild today, actually rained earlier, so i decided to install my F-sport grille. It was kind of a pain to get to the screws that hold it from behind the bumper but it took me about 45 minutes to figure it out. i think it makes the front end look much sportier and matches the bottom grille much better as well

You get detailer and an aerosol can of air, wipe excess with soft cloth. 5 minutes

What finish is the grille? It's really hard to tell from pics if it is just black or metallic, or grey, or what.

Just curious because I intend to perhaps change mine.
