Here it is in the sun if the camera can do justice lol

How was the install of you grill? I do noticed that the honeycomb style of your is slightly different to the other guy who installed a GT grill on his ecoboost.

What kind of modding did you have to do in order to get the GT grill installed on the ecoboost?

I had to Dremel out the slots in the grill to line up with the tabs in the bumper cover. Very easy to do!

I think the GT grille has little cut outs by where the nose vents kinda snug into place that isnt present on the Ecoboost. I'm hoping more aftermarket comes available for hoods/grilles, I'd love even just a partially functional port on the hood, but the only replacements I've seen are the Andersen Composites ones, and I dont want to drop that much on carbon fiber and paint.

And agreed on the styling notes. I really love the look of the DH front end, but you really can't match that without it looking a little up-badgy. But I don't know, as long as I'm not throwing DH badges all over, might not be the worst.

You should check out Race Louvers. They have actual functional hood Vents that provide both engine cooling and downforce (Wind Tunnel Tested) They don't have ones made for the s650 yet butthey said it was on their list.
