this is not the first, nor the second, nor even the third dealer to do this.
if multiple dealers are painting the grille, then that just shows we're not
crazy and it really was a design mistake.

with that said, yes it is vastly superior to the OEM one.

in fact, in this color, I think it looks much better than either black or white.

nicest looking 2nd gen I've seen yet.

Meh it looks very anonymous.

I think if you move the chrome grill to the middle of the intake it looks much better.

They didn't get the prongs in correctly when reinstalling the grill, that's why there's a slight gap on the bottom part of it. I almost did that when I installed my Aero bumper too. And the color looks slightly off.

Other than that, looks GREAT. Looks just like mine.

they do look like OEM rims though.

Very sharp. That's the best looking color I've seen for a paint-matched grill.

I am not buying the painted grill. I think chrome grille makes the car more upscale and classy. The wheels look hot though.

It does look very nice in that color, but I think every color will not look that good with the grill painted. White and Silver colors look better with the chrome grill.

Darker colors will look better painted, looks sportier, especially nice with the aero bumper kit.
