    Bought a 2 piece grille off ebay. Got it painted and put it together myself. You have to melt the mounting tabs down with a soldering iron.

    because they didn't make the sport in Impulse Red so any that are red, have been painted by the owners (or they've had them painted)

    yeah, I get that, and never understood why they didn't offer it. I was thinking the mod was a pain in the neck since I didn't see more of them. Either way, I really like what Lanninja did with his. Very sharp. I am going to get it done

    Go color match. I prefer it over the chrome stock grill. I have another grill that is also color matched that I'm getting a Satoshi mod done on. Can't wait.
