HA the grille came from the factory My Cefiro is JDM

yup good call on the powder coating - but will it look alright based on the pictures you think?

JDM chrome grill like my one.. I can probably get them.. but what are they worth to sell?

Doh! $70 is not enough to make any margin on so not worth the hassle, was worth a shot

I know its off the topic, but will the 95-99 I30 grille fit a 98 Max? I would love to put that grille on my car if it fits flush and w/out any modification
