Ordering the grille is a pain in the ***, Got denied by three dealers and two websites just because I don't have a fsport VIN number. Asked my friend to borrow a VIN number for me to get the grille from Florida. Wish this time will work.

Same happened to me, straight up just didnt put a VIN number in when they asked. Try to find a website that doesn't require one.

Do you have your roof black or CF wrapped as well? If its black, do you think it still looks good with the black top and CF hood? Thinking about doing the same.

Had the roof wrap black at the start then when I wrapped my hood and trunk CF, I also changed the roof to CF so it looked more "connected". Sunroof is still black though obviously
