Any updates on new grills? I'm working on a mesh version by using the OEM piece as a template. Cost should be nothing besides the plastic mesh wire if everything works out.
Supraman16: What front lip do you have on the car? Lexon?
Interesting since both FIGS and Supraman16 have mesh grills but one has the surround painted black, the other one is body color in matching white. Both look very cool and can't decide which route to go.........hmmmm

I just dropped off my grill and mesh portions off at the shop for them to wet sand the parts individually. The mesh portion can be separated from the surround piece so this leaves a lot of room for modifications.
Let me work on this project later this week and will report back with results. I see this being pretty easy to get the surrounds painted either body color or matte/gloss black depending on the theme of your car.
I'm going to build a mesh grill option and a simple OEM grill repainted option and try both to see which one I like. It shouldn't be that hard once I finalize the parts list.
Where can I buy just an "F" logo? Dealer?

Here's mine. The opening is a bit too revealing for my taste - not sure what to do about it though. The weave of the mesh is the same size as the Blitz (for the ISX50) but the Blitz is not as revealing, so I dunno what gives.
Sorry for the crappy pics - I just snapped them for this purpose.
