not Artisan Spirits. Gaps between the slats of the Artisan Spirits are huge, mine's not. There are also slots at the end of the slats for chrome strips and there's a divider running down the middle of the grill

I'll take closer pics tomorrow so people knows what I'm talking about. I'm gonna do a test fit and take pics of that too.

Pretty ugly...... IMO. Maybe it will look better with the chrome strips. Its looks like its over powering the front end. "JP till I die".....

Again this is just my opinion, If you like it is what really counts.

Coming in second behind the JP would be this one.....

yea, it wasn't what I was expecting the actual grill holes are too small and the slats point down too much and looks too beaky like the new acuras.

Here's the painted pics of the grill (rattle-can job). It doesn't look as overpowering now that it's colormatched. Although the chrome doesn't pop out as much as I had imagined. I'm also not loving it as much as I thought I would. I'd sport it in the meantime, until I finish work on the JP grill.

It definitely looks better but i think the bars stick out too far.

Great work for a rattle can job though...

My jp grill is getting work done to it as well

Took me a while to finish cutting the surround of the JP grill. Afterwards I sprayed it with black primer. I plan on colormatching it to the car, but here are some pics of what it looks like now.
