Yeah trust me I thought that from all the pics I saw as well but in person its totally different looking. The mesh is so heavy I couldn't bend it if I wanted to and it glistens in the sunlight. It seriously looks just like the mesh on the Jaguar XJR my buddy has but his is plastic.

I was a staunch adversary of this grill but in person it looks fantastic. I was at the mall yesterday and parked right by a guy with a Caddilac CTS. His car has the mesh grill and we were commenting on how similar our grills where. Even his surround is as thick as this one. He asked me if this was the performance version of the crossfire because it had the grill. LOL

I said not, I don't have the batwing on back. LOFL
