authentic 100 dollar grills for our cars is unheard of. LOL let me know how it goes, if its chrome its gonna chip if its a whack paint job. (from what my paint guy told me when doin my chrome surround)

I bought an LX Mode chrome grille and had it sanded and painted by my body shop and it turned out really nice. Don't think for $100 it's legit.

Since you purchased already, opinions don't really matter, just try to make it work. Keep us posted.

flame free man

Yea keep us posted on how it turns out and how the fitment is. Definitely wrap in vinyl. Im not familiar with plasticoat so i cant judge it but i have heard if u apply too much to a certain area it will leave it wont level out as much cuz it goes on thick.

I was going to wait to have it painted and install but I'll chime in. I bought it from the same dealer I think, for $109 plus tax. It came in the official LX-Mode white box with the name on it. It was stamped LX-Mode on the grill and It even fitted perfect. Now its at the shop with my surround to be colored match. If you want pictures of the box and grill I will take pictures when its done. The shop has the box too.
