Default C-mod grill for 09-10?

Has anyone mounted this C-mod grill? I have searched high and low and can only find pre 2009 cars with a C-mod grill. And yes, there is a big difference between the two. Does anyone have any input/experience with fitment of C-mod grills? Here is a pic of the grill. It replaces the entire grill surround and the grill. I would color match it tungsten pearl (except for the mesh).

I remember seeing a thread about a similar style grill for 09-10 that someone got from ebay.

Fitment was kinda off but he made it fit. Idk where the name cmod came from, but this is a blitz style grill.

Fitment sucked, carbon fiber was cracked, areas were clear/gel coated way too thick and made it hazy. I returned mine.

I wouldnt do it, honestly.

This is not a blitz style grill, as the blitz grill does not replace the grill surround. The one I am looking at replaces the grill surround and is fiber glass, not carbon fiber. The c-mod name is the name of the company that makes the grill. I essentially want the upper grill to look like the lower grill as far as everything being color matched up to the black mesh. Kinda sucks that no legit company makes a grill like that

I ordered one just because I couldn't find any other after market grills for a 2009 is350. It came in the mail with a broken corner. Iv tried sending c-mod pictures because it was insured by Hong Kong post for $500 Hono Kong dollars. Has not helped one bit keeps telling me to talk to the us postal service to file a claim. Iv talked to them and they say go to Hong Kong post because they insured it. Iv told c-mod this multiple times and he keeps insisting I need to go to us postal service. Overall bad experience. Also the grill looks cheap I did a temporary fix and I want a new grill already.
