I like the grille, but not the lower lip spoiler.

Lip looks homemade. Reminds me of a lip I saw on zilvia where you used garage door rubber trim. I'm not saying that is what the lip is but the style does look similar.

I like the stock look much better. Have yet to see a painted grill that looked better than stock.

Here's my grille update. Just the grey between the chrome. Looks classy I think.

OP, how did you make the front lip?

I feel like it takes away some of the "Luxury" look, but it does look very clean in this case. More of a sporty vs luxury look IMO...

Yea. I was going for the clean look. Still looks luxturious IMO. Thanks. I have black rims so i wanted to stay with the "black theme" and sporty look. I left the chrome accents to keep the luxtury feel.

The last thing i may want to do is get H&R lowering springs. Ill probably wait until the next Genesis (mid cycle changes) or hunt for a 20k 2015 genesis in a year. Really like the car but the 2015 is getting alot of praise for ride and handling. Love my Genesis though.

I like the painted look. I bought a duraflex lip for mine. When I get it painted, Im going to have my grill painted like that also. My car is white so I mine will hardly be noticeable Im thinking.
