That actually looks pretty good. I really like how the insert fills in the empty gaps in the grill and bumper. Now if only it was sold in black...

Here is what I did with my lower grill. I used perforated aluminum.

I thought I'd illustrate the duo.
I hated the look of the upper grill, and would have painted the lower grill black. If you like the look of both on your car, more power to you. After my wreck on Saturday, my lower grill is now a little wad of crumpled up aluminum. Whether I buy a used '08, or a new '09 Fit to replace my totaled '07, I will use the expanded aluminum panels from JCWhitney to protect the A/C condenser, instead of the aluminum grills. Again, if you like the combination of the upper/lower grills, keep 'em. I did not like both- thought that the car now looked like a PT Cruiser. Qualityof the Grills4You products was very good for the low price.

The bolt-on grills for protection of the condenser have an advantage over the panels placed behind the stock plastic grill--- panels allow leaves and road debris to get stuck to the panel. The bolt-on grills do not allow leaves, etc. to stick.

Takes no time to clean them out. I try to wash my car twice a week anyway. Plus anything over the black plastic looks horrible IMO

Good morning to you, too.
