Thanks man you car is one of my favs on this site. I'm gonna look into the spacers as a future mod. What size spacers would you say I need with 9" fronts and 10" back, to to be closer to sittin flush? or would I have to measure this out myself?

if you had lexanis, then that grill is perfect.

tell your lady that it's the same situation where she can't wear payless shoes with her LV or Gucci bag

sell the grill, use that money and buy her something nice...win/win
I like your thinking but I think Im gonna switch it out and just hope she doesn't notice...lol but if she does maybe ill use that shoe to purse comparison

i will help you to check out or at least show you where to measure to see what size spacers would make it sit more flush. i'm guessing like 10mm front and like 15mm rear but this may mean you have to roll the rear fender so there is no rubbing.

after this weekend when i hopefully put my wheels back on i will be looking into some spacers and rolling/shaving fenders as well. 2010 is the year of fitment/flushness...

Yea I figured that it would require a fender roll. Don't know if I want to do that yet but I might just have to risk it. Can't wait to see ur car with that SS kit tho....

I had never seen an LS in that color until I went to the dealership. I went to look at a black one and ended up buying the briarwood one just cause it seemed kinda rare and it was also the only UL they had.

The new grille looks like it is entirely chrome. Is that correct. I replaced my stock grille with one that is entirely chrome, and people hardly notice.

Regardless, looks good to me.
