It looks good in the pics...even though the links are messed up. It's essentially pieces of chrome with double-sided sticky tape on the back. I would save my money.

Look really close...it's a Photoshop line made through the grill lines, not an actual photo of an application. I'd be weary on how well it looks in real life w/o a genuine photo. Personally, it seems a ricey mod for such an elite auto. Does anyone make an aftermarket replacement, billet grille? That would be very nice!

Hey,

Yeah, I got mine yesterday and went to go try and put them on but it wouldn't work.

It would just keep slipping off.

I don't know, tell me how yours goes.
