After playing around and painting the OEM grille, I happened on a closeout price on a stainless grille and decided at the price I couldn't pass it up. I know many have this grille, but I really can't believe the difference. I can tell this one is turning a lot more heads than the last OEM grille and it seems this one is not as "see through" as some I have seen pics of. In fact, I was asked what kind of car this was this morning at Starbucks for the first time and my wife and daughters say it makes the car look like a much more expensive car.

I also found the chrome coverings for the OEM grille and I am glad I got this one instead (half the cost).

Anyone with this grille: any downsides? I did notice some minor scratches from the OEM grille that are now visible and may need some touchup. Any long term issues?
