fyi, the oem lower grille is too small to fit in the blitz grille... might need to cut two of them and glue them together or look for generic honeycomb sheets
Great minds think alike Enrique. I think a honeycomb sheet would be your best bet. IMO, it looks better when the top grille has a smaller mesh. Be careful bending the hooks on your Blitz grille too, I was worried they would snap off (like when you bend a paperclip back and forth).

Brociouz, I just bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/110797757446...84.m1497.l2649

$90 USD including shipping. I will let you know how it fits. He has one that is carbon fiber. I asked him if I could NOT get carbon fiber and he said he would make me one and thus he made the link I posted above for me.
I hope it fits our grill. I will let everyone know. If it does, I bet he will sell many more of these.

Did you order this? If so, is the pattern identical to the lower grill (same size, etc..?)
