Default 2009 IS Grill Input?

I'm trying to visualize how this grill would look with the whole thing (except the mesh) color matched to tungsten pearl. If anyone has a pic, that would be awesome.

OP, I seen that on ebay last week
From the looks of it, it seems like a WHOLE replacement of the grille AND the grille surround together for 2009-2010 models
Just look at the tips and shape of the edge, that's the shape of the grille surround
I didn't get it though as didn't want to gamble on fitment
From the pics it didn't even look like it had holes for the weatherstrip
Decided to get FSport instead

Yeah Reyo, it does replace the grill and surround, that's why I think it could look really good color matched.
Thanks for your effort Juvi, but that's a pre 2009 grill and as Reyo said, this one I'm looking at replaces the grill surround and the grill. The chrome would no longer be there.

I don't have the mesh grill insert, but I do have a Tungsten Pearl color matched surround on a 2009. Hope this helps...

I went with the F-sport but that one did look nice. Just didn't feel like taking the chance and having it not fit well.

SB350, ha, kinda funny, a few months ago I was drooling over your car cause it's pretty much a spitting image of what I have in mind for mine, and then here you are. Thanks for the post, don't be mad when your car has a clone on the road haha. That painted surround does give me a better idea, thanks.
