I bought an emblem with my grill and it didn't fit. The oem one was curved slightly and the new one I got was flat so it wouldn't lay flush. I had to reuse the oem one. Oh well, it was only 12 bucks.

grille looks good but your front end looks too black for my taste and chrome emblem doesn't flow with the murdered look. maybe black pearl emblem?

It will look better in better lighting with the chrome headlights and fogs, plus I'll be ordering some wheels soon in a polished finish. It will flow I've only had my car 2 months so it's a process

I really like the f-sport style grill, but kinda stuck as well. I have an obsidian too but I really want to leave the chrome surround and emblem since I'm going for a the black & chrome look. Anyone have any pictures of the f-sport with chrome surround?

grill looks good. I'm probably being biased since I have one
but I have to agree with the others your grill surround should be chrome

Just got mine in the mail today, Im also gonna leave the grille surround chrome. Im just deciding what color to paint this grille. Im worried that a gunmetal wont look good against the black and chrome cause it might be too busy looking

I'm guessing they come without an emblem....Do you have to buy a special emblem?

only thing i would recommend is make sure you paint it in some sort of gunmetal similar to the OEM IS-F grill, otherwise it'll look flat black and that's no bueno!
