Nope they won't fit. The grill on my car is a Renova.... No confirm yet if these Renova replica fits perfect...

I bought the replica grille but I havent tried to put it on yet. I know I gotta make holes for the top taps but the bottom tabs dont look like they will hold the grille in place without some modifications. I got some pics so you can get a good look.

I'm definitely interested. Plz keep updated on progess Rob! If this fits well and the modifications are easy enough, I will have my roommate complete whatever mods are needed to enforce the tabs.

EDIT

Is the grille removable? I'm thinking of painting the frame a dark metallic gunmetal as part of a project of mine. Will be painting the SEV6 side emblems, and surrounding window trim on front/back/sides of car all a dark metallic gunmetal... color like these rims...

Apparently, they have a mesh grille for the Gen 2 too.

LOL I dunno, I just googled the color and found what matched the color best. I want it slightly darker then the rims tho. Slightly darker and that will be the color that I will use on the chrome window and grille trim! It will be sexy

Any new update on the install of the replica? JW cause I've been looking into a replacement grill since my stock one that's plastidipped is getting old on me.
