Here is mine before I finished the install:



I ended up replacing them all (upper, mid, lower) with the M7 grills, much better!

Thanks! Does the M7 grill require any modification or cutting? I really like the look... and that tow hook!

I am not 100% if the middle requires any mods, but the upper and lower didn't. There can be some tricks to the install, search around, I have seen several threads on it. I had already done the Areo mod prior to installing the M7, so I had cut and painted the middle for that. I liked the Areo at first, but the plastic faded to a gray color. I have seen that on several other cars as well. I have had the M7 on for two years and have been VERY happy with it. Worth the money in my opinion.

Bought it from Euroquipe (not a vendor here) listed on the M7 site. They were local, and all the M7 dealers should have the same price or lower than the ones on the M7 site. I wanted to take a look at the grills before I bought them, so they ordered them in for me to inspect.
