Anyone..2017 with and without sports grille?

I purchased the sports grille but the dealer has yet to install it. Does anyone have or know where I can find comparison photos? I have done a few searches but I have yet to find anything. 2016 would even suffice. Thanks.

Is the finish on the Sport grille matte? If there's one think I dislike about my new fit it's the glossy black plastic used on the front and rear trims and around the head unit.

The finish on the Sport Grille is a matte finish. I didn't quite think the installation all out. If the grille is replaced with a matte one...then you have to contend with the issue with the shine on the hatch lid which now does not match your front grille. I have a shiny bright red Milano Fit....so now I am rather hesitant to replace the grille with the matte look. If you have a black, silver, or white I think the matte would look striking. However, with the Milano red.....well not so sure.

If you don't like the shiny piano black look, maybe the alternative is to vinyl wrap it in the carbon fiber texture? I did that to my audio dash area. Here is the before and after look in the LX. I was curious to see how it would look on the grille so I took a scrap piece of vinyl and taped it over it. Not bad.

I was thinking about vinyl wrap, that does look pretty good on the grille. Where did you get it?

eBay. You can get a small roll for around $6. If you like it, you can always buy more.
