Just installed lower valence billet grille (PIC)

Finally got her installed. Although it's not a perfect fit (some of the crosshairs don't seem to fill the gap) I think that overall it looks pretty nice and flows well with my stock upper grille.

feel free to comment

I don't like billet. More of a mesh kind of guy. That's just me though.

Looks like it fits well. I'm not a fan of billet personally, but I'm not much for the "bling" factor. I like a black mesh that is pretty much invisible

Haha, yeah a massive front mount intercooler. I think it looks good but I also think you should do both or none at all.

I think it looks pretty good but more important is that there is another choice out there.

Looks good.

And, me thinks it would look worse if you did both the upper and the lower. With just the lower, it looks more like it might have come from the factory that way. Too much looks forced, IMHO.

I agree...that's why I only ordered the lower one... I definitely considered painting it black but wanted to see what it looked like in polished first... me likey so far

Not really a big fan of billet, but it looks pretty clean with your car/color.
