Rep Power: 306 I have never heard any complaints about the altezza nor the RS grill. Fitment on mine is perfect. Combine it with a sedan radiator cover and its very clean. If you have a sedan, then you need only to purchase the grill itself.

Since you have a coupe, go get the sedan radiator cover. Painting it will help alot because the grill itself is just abs plastic. Yes, its black in color but theres no actual paint or clear coat. It shouldnt be too expensive for a body shop to paint it for you. Thread Starter

Rep Power: 306 The reason why you need a different radiator cover is because the new grill will not fit with your current grill. However, the sedan radiator cover will fit. Like Gear said, you'll have a nice sized gap without one.

what the radiator covers? the sedan cover works with the grill if you have a sedan. if you have coupe, you need to buy the sedan cover. i left mine off cause you get a ton more airflow.
