Default Pics of my New Genesis with Aftermarket Grill.....

As requested by some forum members, I have posted a couple pictures of my New 2011 Genesis Sedan with the aftermarket grill I installed today.

IMHO I don't like it.
Stock looks better but the emblem on the aftermarket looks better.

The stock grill is nicer and is classier.
That grill looks Ebay or JC Whitney.
All that matters though is if you like it.

Yeah I prefer the stock grill. Whatever floats your boat though.

It's not my style, but I can see what it's doing there. Too bad the hood has that little lead-in to the OEM grill though. It doesn't blend as well as it could.

Doesn't flow with the remaining lines from the piece on the hood.
