Default 09-10 Replica Blitz style Grill (PICS)

I'm not sure if anyone has this. This is a grill that fits the 09. I saw some members wanting this grill on their 09, but it wasn't available for us.
This one is custom made to fit the 09-10 models.
Here are some pics.. the fitment is pretty good.
Sorry for the pics if anyone thinks they are too big;too small; too poor quality, I took it with my iPhone..
I think the size is appropriate but I am not very good with posting/editing pictures.
yes, I know my car is dirty, but weather is not permitting a wash.
Anyway, is anyone interested?

I bought the same grill from a member on this forum. It looks really good! I'm goad I saw it installed on a white car like mine . I'm with ThermonMer though....it would probably look better if you painted the chrome or even blacked it out.

haha, i think i'll black it out if anything with plasti-dip..
after removing the bumper 5 times, I seriously do not want to do it again..
1st time: install HID low's
2nd time: black out headlight housing
3rd time: install HID fogs
4th time: tried to install a 08 one, and found out it didn't fit.. fml..
5th time: installed this

looks good. +1 on color matching or blacking out the grill surround. also, you dont need to remove the bumper to remove the grill surround. here's the DIY for front grill removal.

How much would they run? It'd be nice to have an '09 alternative grill.

i'm guessing maybe somewhere around $200-250..
it really depends how many people want it.
I think this grill (for the 09-10) is very rare, if not one of a kind in North America
It required quite a bit of work to get this on.
If there is demand for it, I'll have to make sure the manufacturer makes all the holes pre-drilled and aligned perfectly so people can just put it on without any extra work.
