I'm in the same boat. Looks like the same grill on an Exige and I like it.

What's tacky is chicken-wire fencing on a car, its just not meant to be used in any automotive, plus it thin and brittle. Check out the Subaru guys running them on their Impreza's, it looks really nice. There's a guy local to me that supposedly got a free one from their R&D for to getting the final fitment right, I'm going to track him down. haha I feel like a stalker.

The stock grille is a little less flush on the car, so there isn't a drastic change there. I called GC and they said they sold their initial stock, all went to Japan! How did the Japanese know before us?

No grill with stock crash bar.

I'll be removing my stock grill and making a cover for the crash bar. I'll post pictures.

I "Like" that look, except with the OE Reinforcement removed. But then again, I like my AC Condenser/Radiator free of bugs, rocks & Debris. It's more for someone that has a "Hard Parker" FR-S. I really don't want to be stuck on the side of the highway with my Radiator pissing coolant.

I'm going to put a "grill" in front of the radiator to protect it. Probably something very thin, painted the same color as the radiator so you don't notice it.

Like what? You could put some thick gauge mesh in front of it, but anything directly infront would still cause what's behind it to absorb the impact as well.

If I hit something that is strong enough to get past some thickish gauge fencing mesh and still mess up my radiator I'll have bigger problems. I'm just trying to cut down on sticks or rocks. It won't be butted up against the radiator, I'll have a small buffer zone.

Thats the key concern.
