Found this from another post a member made. It's not a Renova grill but since they hard to get and no longer made, why not try this one out? Looks the same as the Renova Grill. It doesn't say anything about the paint so assuming it come ready to paint. Check it out guys.

That hood and body kit is disgusting, but the grille looks decent and sort of matches the renova style.

i wonder why the lower grill (on the pic on the right) looks so whack.....you'd think it'd be looking pristine if they're using it for a stock photo....

the grill itself looks decent, but i must agree, the hood scoop and the body kit look terrible.

That's pretty neat. I doubt the grill will fit a gen 1.5 though.

I have the Sarona grill. Its ok, but its no Renova. I had to do a bit of shaving and fastening to get it to fit, but overall Im happy with the way it turned out.

I will post pics of my completed front end rebuild when I get some time. My job has me runnin crazy.

The bottom part of the grill is slightly longer, meaning it comes to more of a point. I also think there is a fitment problem with the sides. Otherwise I would have swapped a 1.5 grill onto my car a long time ago.
