Yea, it's easily solveable though, 3m Autotape behind it will hold it like a bolt..stuffs amazing.

Now to get the lights painted and this car is finally finished.

Na, it's done, the stuff remaining to be fixed is best done with a whole new car.. namely dual clutch trans and TT. Got to start saving now for that 2015 beast... I prefer not to finance cars.

I love it RedG, Great look! hey did it come with the mesh that sits behind it, or was that something you did to mod it? I like it much better the way you did it, flows better with the mesh below. Kudos!!

The mesh comes with it and you use your existing emblem.

Thanks, VR emblems have been done, would make the emblem scream and there's already enough red on the car. Black chrome matches the formula silver on the wheels and being chome has an OEM look to it. This is the anti-sedan G37S and how the sport package should have been delivered.

I'm going to get the light housing painted matte black and was thinking the shroud red but now I think a glossy dark gunmetal (black chome) would be a better match.

looks great! I was thinking of picking that grille up too, but not sure if it'll look as nice on a BO? Wont pop off of the red like on yours.

Take a look at the Zele grille for an example of sem-gloss on OB. They do make a gloss version of the stillen grille which I've yet to see a picture of, perhaps an email to stillen might help there. Painting the grille OB if gloss doesn't match may be more appealing then semi-gloss on OB.

Yes, that is the seriously overpriced ($244 shipped) and painfully so black chome emblem kit...lol. The look doesn't leave me with any remorse though, it's the difference between an OEM quality feel and a painted modification. I actually like the bar on the stillen grille now which shows of the little emblem that cost as much as the grille!

Added another pick of the rear to OP.
