Nope, I've reached out to many a year ago and nobody was interested except one company who wanted at least 30 people (with down payment). Its technically upper grill, lower grille and the chrome molding. I've tried putting the fsport grill onto the non fsport grill, the positions of the brackets are all over the place and it also doesn't curve the same angle although it may seem like it

They look great.

What is the difference (if any) in ride comfort and noise?

Indeed. Even though it's better, and it costs less, too.

Thanks man! and I'm actually not lowered, looking to put some RSR down springs. It might be the angle and my front tires are a bit bigger than oem.
