Thats what I did as well, painted grill and emblems, along with the yellow fog overlays, with 8000k HID's in em. I also have the matte black wheels.

Here is my modest contribution:




I started with a OEM Upper Grill surrounding and a OEM lower grill. The lower grill was cut and heat formed to more or less fit the upper grill surrounding then glued to it. It is not a perfect job, but it is pretty good for now.

timetoy: That is a great idea, never thought of using the lower mesh!

That was one thing that always bothered me having non-matching mash from the upper to lower grill!

Thanks guys.

I actually wrapped it myself, a little tricky but it can be done.

Splat talk to Janoy and let's hook it up. An IS mini-meet with ISS Forged. I'd like to see what projects those guys are working on and see everyones cars in person.

Default disappointed!

i put on a grill, but you can see the white over-spray on the bottom. doubt i'll keep it now... pics are with and without a black F emblem.





i bought from ilocke, it's in great condition. i'm thinking even if i repainted the rim white, you might still be able to see the white bumber through the grill.

Just a preview for now... can definitely say the final look won't be everyone's cup of tea...
