Default Installed F-Sport grille

Very easy to do, only took 30 minutes. Ordered from EBay for $50 and install was not bad. Did not remove chrome insert. You only have to remove 4 clips, 1 bolt and carefully push pins to slide out grille. Before and after pictures.

Looks good! Very subtle change in a good way. Which eBay member did you buy from?

But you can get an actual factory F-Sport grille instead of an aftermarket replica for your 2009-10. Wouldn't that be better anyway?

I think it depends ^^

The 06-08 fsport grill reps on eBay are painted black. The 09-10 fsport insert that Sewell sells had a silver glossy finish, which is why I had mine painted black.

But I wish there were more options, more specifically the kazz grill

Does this grill work on a Sports Luxury with the sensor?

I assume you mean the PCS sensor in the emblem? This won't work with that. The opening is quite a bit larger for the PCS.
