My favourite grille. And even though the difference between the authentic and rep lip is subtle, it looks so much better. I don't think that made any sense but, I love it! And it's not just the paint!

Did you buy the grille off someone local? That's a steal! Can't wait to see the lights on. I also need that modulo rear bumper... mmm

It does, I have it on my 2013! You have two ways of going about it.

1) Get the front sport bumper. "The logical choice"
2) Get the front bumper from 09 or 10 models. "date your car backwards"

Looks GREAT. The gloss painted one is so much better.

You're technically right that it does fit the 11+ but you're wrong in this context.

Good looking car, man.

When I found that I could get the real deal lip for half the cost I had to get it.

As for the grill I purchased it from someone on Facebook "Smith Mason John" he got me both the grill and lip. He is from Florida and he get cheap parts for CU2 straight from Japan

Funny you mentioned this. I went from 09-10 front to 11+. Essentially 'date my car forward' I don't think I would go back. Just wishing there was a grill that fits 11+ bumpers

That grille looks so much sexier than the stock grille.
