    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.

Wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem, and if so, how they corrected it...

I installed an aftermarket "sport" grille on my 2013 R-spec sedan, and the upper grille garnish that attaches to the hood does not fit well. I am very underwhelmed by the quality of the grille as a whole.
After bolting on, the garnish is distorted and has a couple of visible waves in it. I have tried to refit, but nothing I do is working. The piece is a little flimsy, so maybe I just bought a cheap knock off (Eppar on Amazon)?
My next step is to get some rubber matting to put between the garish and hood to see if filling some of the space will fix the waves.
