Grille de-chroming: completed.
I almost bought OEM, but then decided to go with significantly less expensive ECS Tuning's parts. Fit is excellent, as far as I can tell. I went with gloss black rather than matte, and it looks like it was 100% the correct choice. I used a garden hanger that was handy to help get the tabs off when removing the original. If anyone wants a set of OEM Sport/no-Line grilles, let me know.
Oh, and the Platypus plate mount is installed, but is clearly blocking the parking sensor.
: I contacted them and am currently waiting for either a different (more offset) plate or an RMA. Their website clearly states that it will not block the sensor, but it's covering it completely.
UPDATE: Cravenspeed is now telling me they sent me the incorrect plate. Hopefully the replacement they are sending will work.
