Hey everyone.......I was wondering if anyone knew if I purchased the altezza grill and had it painted by a shop if it would match the rest of the front end........a source tells me that i'd have to pay for the whole front end to be painted which would totally suck.......but if it will match then I won't worry......any help would be great......thanks in advance.

not really positive, but i dont think youd have to repaint the whole front end. i personally kinda like the altezza grill in just black (not repainted) but thats just me. im just guessing you wouldnt have to paint the whole front end, but dont base what you do on what i say, wait for others to respond also...good luck

You really wouldnt have to repaint the whole front end unless they really didnt know how to color match. Your car is still new so the paint hasnt really faded enough to worry about repainting it all for a grill.

paint doesnt fade ne more... that kind of stuff doesnt happen.. nowadays we have better paint. it doesnt fade... no way do u need to get the whole front end painted . if anyone told you that like a body shop .. then u need to goto a different body shop... any quality body shop will easily match the paint no problems..

no you do not have to take out holders for oem fogs. i just put my grill over them. used zipties to hold the grill. no problem at all

depends on the paintjob, for example if ur car is NBP, make sure u have to shop to paint it exactly NBP not just black, or shiny black.
