I have 1 set left on top of that. If anyone else wants it, PM me.
Won't have time to make it there, I relocated to Newport beach. I'm heading that way Friday afternoon though, is it ok if I swing by then to pick up?

I asked them just now, they said it has been shipped.
But they told me that you order the matte black, not gloss black, is it right?

I have a set of gloss black OEM grilles here that I'll put on this one. I want the slats matte and the outer rings gloss black so this worked out perfectly for me.

Can't wait to see this look since space gray pulls off gloss black insanely

atomic80 Uhm, I don't want to spoil it, but on the other side, I don't want you to find it out the hard way.
The design of the clips between the center trim and the outer ring is different than the OEM.
I tested it already, for the guys that wanted chrome outer rings.

Any taker on the last set that I have here? If not, then it is going to my car.

Ok, as of last week, all sold out.
But I got another inquiry for more.
Let me know who else that want this and I will ship them in again.
I need at least 5 people.

I tried real quick over the weekend, but... was foiled. I must be getting old. I wrench and do all the mods on my other car, but apparently don't have the same mojo with this one. Couldn't even get one of the top tabs to release on the stock grille.

Ok, never mind. I am getting too friggin' old. Trying to make things harder than they need to be. I removed the plastic air intake cover (the one with a blank on the passenger side and the air intake tube itself on the driver's side). Thought that gives me plenty of room to reach each of the top tabs from the back. With the depth of the grille itself, there's not enough leverage room to pop the tab.

Fast-fwd 5mins ago, when I re-read Alan's thread where he included the nice pics of the removed grilles and mentioned that he removed five screws. That's when the "duh!" moment hit me. Removing that shroud right ABOVE the grilles gives you instant access to top/side tabs, thereby really making it a 10min install job. Stupid me, but at least now I know it should be a quick job tomorrow (or perhaps I'll burn the midnight oil when I get home).

Thanks in advance, again, Alan!

I found that out when I compared the two grille pieces. DOH! No worries though, I got mine painted gloss black for $50 bucks so it's all gloss black. Should have bought them that way to begin with.

Now to find Alan's thread... can anyone post a quick link?

If you have M Sport, I would go with Gloss Black to match the shadowline.

I agree with Ben about that. I was originally going with matte which is what mine came in but after seeing how it'd look, I decided that gloss black looks way better. I'll post pictures after I get them installed. Just have to figure out how to do it.

In that case, matte then.

Ben I'm down for one on the next batch (gloss black). Would have gotten in on the first one but was MIA from the forums.
