Well, I already have a set of BBS LM's on order so will post some fitment pictures once I get them from Japan

As for those black pearl diffusers, anyone get a price? I would think those would only look good if you already had the matching badges. What is the other color, titanium?

Well I got my hands on a really nice mesh grill which is a bit thicker but also angled so it's a perfect style for the IS-F. Going to trim it out for the oem trim piece later today so plan to have to complete grills ready to swap out for my IS-F.

One setup is the OEM setup that is completely sanded and painted gloss black. I like the look of it but figured why not have 2 "looks".

I'm going to do the second one in black chrome with the mesh and have an "F" logo on the lower driver's side.

Will post some pictures in a bit.

Any south florida owners know where I can get a reliable painting of my front grill? Went to two places today that could not guarantee it wouldn't peel off chrome at some point. Neither one was really aware of the process to paint over chrome.

These guys tell you how they were going to do it? And that peeling was not going to be a possibility?

For the bumper and roof spoiler I'm going to a shop by my house with a rental car place across the street simply because of convenience. I need a car to go to Naples while the painting is getting done.

Splat what color scheme you going with on your grill?

I'm leaning towards just straight obsidian for grill and surround.
