Some website... I really forgot the name but it was a canadian based company. The grill itself seems kinda sloppy as far as the finish goes. I had to strip it down and repair some craters in order to properly primer it.

Not only that it seems like the company sold me a used grill that was painted with black spray paint, and they just sprayed black primer over it to make it look new.

Either way its no biggie to me since I can fix everything. Fitcapo will be coming down sunday to test fit

Still waiting for the pictures!!!

I'm honestly a bit confused as how this will fit with the USDM bumper. Does it just replace the black part of the grill because I see no other area that can be disconnected from the bumper it self. Maybe the pictures are misleading on how big it will be and the photoshopped pictures are a bit misleading as they show no crease at all.

I'll just wait for the pictures to make a decision about this I suppose.

you'll have to remove the existing grille on the sport bumper. there are a few screws and clips that hold it into place. you remove your bumper to replace the grille; some have done it without removing the bumper from the car but it seems like it would be a MUCH easier job with it off.





i keep checking back for those pictures, i hope it's everything that i've been dreaming of
