FYI on the altezza style grill......

I'm fycking pissed.......I finally recieved my front bumper (mine got ruined).....and I was installing it last night.....well I had the altezza grill too that I was installing....well I took the stock one apart and crap.....just figured I'd throw the altezza in and thats that.
Well, the plastic piece that covers your radiator and has the 4 plastic pop-out prong things......that will NOT be installed when you put the altezza grill in.(grill came w/ no instructions)
I was frustrated cutting the f *cking thing last night w/ a jig saw.......still couldn't figure it out......(then I called overthetop down in Cali and he told me what was up)........
So to those that don't know that.....just thought I'd save you a headache.......
peace, trevor

kinda off topic but the altezza grill doesn't fit on the kaminari front bumper either. i had to modify my oem coupe grill to make that fit too.

its cause the altezza grill is made for the sedan. if you get the back peice of the stock grill from a sedan and put it on our coupe along with the grill, it should fit fine...

I pu the Altezza grill on my stock bumper and it fit like a glove. I left the piece that covers the radiator off because i thought it looked better. Since I have the coupe, I wopuld have needed to get the plastic piece for the sedan($12) but i did not want to spend the extra $12.
Here is what mine looks like...
