Black Gen2 W/ Grill'z finally got them,

Looks good. If you look close, on the right, you can see a slight trick of the eye (on top). Gaps look larger. I think that's what happened to the other pic, but it just shows more.

Anyways, like I said, looks nice.

The pictures i have aren't really a fair representation of how it really overall looks. Also, there werent put on perfect. I rushed them on and they weren't mounted with the screws when i took the pix. It gives the car a nice appeal. I was going out that night so i just popped them on.

Actually when i was walking back to my car that night. the ISH looked Tight!

Im happy

The top fits fine, even if you adjust it you'll still have a bit of a gap going on because the body bar should've extended out some more

The bottom doesn't fit as well. But then again i haven't put in the other screw which will take it further back in the opening. The sides seem to poke out a little.

I think they can be adjusted back a little but i didnt have the time and this whole weekend, ive been LaaaZZy

In the posted pics, the top fin is definitely "bent" on the upper left side (face the car). I have mounted my lowers with black zip-ties and they fit perfectly... though I'm sure it's a different manufacturer so that would be a big diff as well. ;)

I just noticed it right now when i read your post and i looked outside of my works front window. It is noticeably bent. But good thing is that i can adjust it a bit.

Nah, straighten things out and they'll be fine. I've been wondering what Jeff used for his black ones. Didn't know there was another one on the market. But I can say that Trenz don't bend. And the black doesn't chip. So for polished it's defly an Injen/CP-e situation. But for black it would be silly to go Injen.

^I think he's trying to make a comparison of sorts...

generic grills are to Injen what Trenz grilles are to CP-e.

High school math tools! LOL
