Yikes, too much chrome. It would be nice it they had a gunmetal version though.

Changes to the ebay grill? I got my ebay isf replica grill today and noticed that it no longer has the slots behind the emblem that everyone is talking about. Instead, this emblem holder is screwed on to the grill very flush from the back and can be taken off so you have the option of going emblemless. I am painting and installing this grill tomorrow so I will give updates

I saw that. Very interesting. I like the no slots look, but think the other one flows better with the emblem holder "molded" in.

Yes, there are 2 styles now. Personally I like the original version - ISF style.

I noticed the revision when a couple of members posted theirs in the "Look what I got today!" thread. Was a bit jealous because I wanted to put a matching CF insert on mine but could not because of the previous design. Not sure if I like that the emblem holder is removable, but I guess it does give folks the option to rock just the mesh.

And an update on my self-painted grille! When another member asked how it was holding up a couple months ago, I did notice a few chips that were only visible upon close inspection. I ended up respraying it with Phantom Gray Pearl this time and a couple coats of clear. I haven't had a chance to take pics, but will post them when I do!

please post pics of the phantom grey pearl and tell us how it compares to your original paint! I am going to paint it tomorrow and this info would be real useful!

Gray pearl paint looks nice. Next step is to take your car for a car wash.

Nice write up! I just did mines 4 days ago and instead wrapped the plastic L in carbon fiber di-noc but I did a messy job at cutting. Might try silver CF wrap to see how it looks instead. I like the flat black look, it matches the bottom grille nicely. I want to color match it sgm but for now it'll do.

What color are your emblems? Gunmetal? did you have them done by a shop or yourself?

The last time I resprayed my grille was about May 2012 and I did choose to spray it with about 4 coats of clear as well. I checked this morning and aside from a few hardly noticeable chips, it has held up REALLY well considering the amount of driving I do. I'll upload some pics later. The clear coat definitely helped and I would advise using it unless you hate the slightly shiney finish.
