I ordered the OEM sport grille and black chrome insert from my dealer and installed it myself with the help of some useful threads with pictures on this board (thank you!). The next day when looking at it in the sunlight I noticed that the only the top part of the grille was black - the sides that go above the headlights were painted Modern Steel Metallic. It was my understanding that the whole grille would be piano black and that there was no other option. My car is Crystal Black Pearl and you can really see the metallic in the sunlight.
So I removed the sport grille (without using a lift and ended up scratching my 2 week old car) and told the dealer of the issue. BTW I have become a master at removing the front bumper. No prob they said, we will order you another one, no charge - and we will check the color when it gets in. Well, it came in today and it is the exact same (black on top with MSM on the sides)
Is everyone else's like this? In all the pictures, they look completely black. My dealer is in contact with Honda to check other lots for the grille color, I'm hoping it was just a mixed up lot and they find me an all black one. My only other options are to accept the MSM grille and have it painted Piano Black or Black Pearl or keep the chrome ass uni-brow. Uggh I am tired of taking off my bumper and putting it back on without a lift
TIA!
