Prototype: 180°|Custom V36 Carbon Fiber Grilles (Coupe + Sedan)

Along with the diffuser for the coupe, we also got a sample of our sedan and coupe grille.

The coupe: Fitment is off, simply because they did not have anything to test fit it on, all the corners sit flush but the top of the grille sticks out a bit too much so it's getting sent back out to them with a piece of the front bumper. I'm also going to see if they can make the front emblem fit the embleless grille with clips or screws so you have a choice to have an emblem or not.

Will report back when we get the 2nd sample.

The sedan: 99% perfect fitment. The grille sits flush, but will require a thread and a nut at the bottom center, so you will be required to drill a tiny hole into that center piece of the bumper behind the grille how the rest of the corners on the grille are. It's a very simple DIY and instructions will be provided. The grille will also have the CF weave all in one direction, I don't know why they did it the way it is... lol. I'll assure that it's not going to be like that on the production grilles. Again, will also try to get the option for front emblem like the coupe.

Nice! I just recently did the emblemless grill on my sedan too. If my theme involved more CF, I'd jump on it in a heart beat. Looking great!

I think these grilles with the top and bottom bars left CF and the rest painted black or colormatched would look dope.
