Default lower grill

What do you think of this grill for the F? If I were to get it I would have it painted black? I have a black ISF. Any thoughts?

Agree with rominl, not really my thing. It doesn't really match anything else on the front of the F and the two grill patterns aren't the same (which would drive me crazy)

If you like it though, go for it

If you paint it black, then it would look very similar to the stock one, except the pattern will be a bit tighter... I don't think it'll be worth the money.

I don't think it looks bad, especially if it were powdercoated black. If you could get a matching upper grill (also in black), then you'd have a very distinctive-looking car.

Maybe if they had one to match the upper grill but as a stand-a-lone it looks crappy. No dice on this one.

I guess we'll have to see how it looks once they finish developing the matching upper grill. I agree it may make the car look unique with both.
