Looks good but like the "L" much better.

Thanks for the response guys. But yea... I wish someone would make a one piece design so the inner and the outer bezel would flow better together. But this is all that's out for now so I guess I'll just have to wait and see if anyone else makes a better one.

Very nice.
IMO it does not work on the IS face. The double lip and 2 different colors are out of balance. If a mesh replaced the stock vertical fins and utilized the chrome beauty ring that is already there I would def do it. It would give the opening a bigger cleaner look. I would take it one step further and use the mesh that is in the lower grille so they would sync. I might even leave the L off and put a VVT-i badge off center.
Me thinks I'm gonna start figuring this out.

Nice job though !

Here is a fuzzzzy pic (i know, i know. it's not an IS) of the Active Tuning grille in my SER.

Something along these lines would be nice.

Looks great for an ebay replica..

I think the Blitz Grill is $600+ because its

1.) Authentic JDM

2.) High Grade Carbon Fiber

and

3) Excellent quality

Examples







Just my opinion..

Thanks

I actually think it works pretty well with the chrome ring.
