Putting this on my wishlist, until I find anything better! Looks good to me!

SO what material are these?

I like it in black, but wish it was recessed a bit, or more imaginative mesh. I hate the black plastic oem ones. Link to the black grille? Thanks,

Usually I like the mesh grille look...black on bright cars, chrome look on dark colors...but this grill is simply ugly...it looks like it sets on top of the bumper (any idea how it attaches)...not to mention if it's the first one available it's going to be the one everyone gets...I'd rather wait a bit for more choices...especially if it requires drilling/modifying.

cheap and ugly looking

Other than the fact that weave looks like you can get it at home depot...

It looks great!

Anything is better than the fake plastic grill.

I think they're made of steel. There is a link to installation instructions on the site.

Would be an easy fix.

I've only seen the one from Grillecraft available. Not sure if I like it or not. There's something just not quite right about it.

I would like something of quality and taste. Not something that looks like an add on. While at the same time, not interupting flow for intercoolers etc, and not adding excess weight. (Carbon? $$ ouch) Something that when people who know the car see it, they say "now that's how it should've come from the factory."

Case in point. Aston Martin DB9. Perfect!

I'm not saying the Aston grille would look good on the FR-S. (would love to see one though) I just think given a little time, someone will come out with something that looks like it belongs on the Toyubaru.

I agree. Take it off. It's disgusting. And reminds me of those ricer days with integras.
