looks nice, it's been done before though. DIY usually has pics with the installation procedure with it.

Take some more pics, can't really tell by the pics unless told. What kind of paint did you use? I actually just ordered my F Sport grille earlier.

If you've ordered the real thing you'll be happy you did, it's much nicer. I know because I went from an ebay rep to the genuine one myself.

Isn't the OEM only for the 09-2012. I heard that but not sure if its true. I have the OEM on my 2010 and love the look of it.
