Well mate number 1) Anyone trying to tell you its plastic and it will never be shiney is an absolute w@Nk3R!!! What the F()cK are cars made out of these days !!!! Everything is plastic on them!! WTF if they are pannel beaters/Spray-painters they obviously hav'nt heard of "PRIMER" hahahahahahaha.....But to be honest i have came across afew grills that dun always fit up properly and they are the ones from"CARMATE" (That they make) cos they couldnt make a kit that fits if it crawled off a car and landed itself in a fibre-glass mould those Fu K$ would still figure out a way of stuffing it up!! If u did get the ABS plastic ones from IG-X they are the ones from HK and can be very tempremental at times some are from a good batch othrs can sometimes not fit up properly but hey it AFTER-MARKET.....You are never garenteed a PERFECT FIT!!!! Unfortunate as it is, take the HOnda after-market parts for example E.G. Civic Angel-eyes head lights; man to get those to fit properly you have to modify the front bar, head-light supports and you are still left with a gap big enough to fit your thumb in but thats what you get for buying After-market.....IT'S JUST ONE BIG GAMBLE!!! SAD BUT TRUE!! <_< <_<
