Dude, I like it. However, I would recommend finding a matching lower grille as well. I think CDC also has something like this in black too.

i was on the fence between the billet and the pony package grille also. i decided to go with the pony grille since i could keep the fog lights and also, it looks like the 60's gt grille.

I like the billet grille that comes with the factory V6 Sport Appearance Package and Warriors In Pink Edition. My only problem is that I would miss the fog lamps and corraled Pony and probably revert it back anyway. Good new is that these parts will swap in and out easy for a look depending on your mood.

The CDC grille is very nice and it's popular right now too! It gives our S197 a nice clean look. Let me know if you would like a quote to get one of these out to you.

I agree with watchdevil... That's why I have kept ALL of my OEM parts, you never know. Maybe one day I'll want to go back to stock, but not likely. My garage looks like an OEM warehouse

The Pony grille is a great retro addition but the chrome 3D carbon grille would really stand out with your car color.My 2 cents.

Well after much debate I'm sticking with the PP grille. I realized last night while driving just how much the driving lights really add to the might vision. Thanks everyone for your input. I added some Fanblade wheels yesterday that I bought for $450 and the PP grille just blends in well with everything...
