    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Nice.. where did you get the lip from?
 
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.
 
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.
