Not a fan, it looks like a lower trim grill to me. The factory grill looks much more upscale.

The vertical bars are kind of a BMW vibe. The overall effect is at variance with the horizontal layout of the lower grille, which the OEM grilles match/complement.

Love the idea of additional options, but agree this particular one makes it look like a BMW wannabe…

 

[KDM Racer]

I'm honestly surprised that there aren't that many grill options for you guys

As a previous AMG owner i like the California grille style but i dont know if it would suit, unless you cut the mesh out of the botton which i am seriously contemplating

How about a stock grill replacement in your choice of either gloss black, carbon fiber or another color that doesn't have the black chrome around it? That's what I'd want.

Manufacturers spend a lot of time getting the styling right.
I think whatever you want to do with your car to personalise it is fine but when you come to sell it put it back to original.
A car is worth far more in absolutely original condition.

If you want a formula...............

A car depreciates by the same amount as the aftermarket accessories you put on it...............

I personally don't care much about resale value, I've literally never sold a car that was worth a bunch, by the time I sold them they were basically "worthless" already, with the exception of my Trans Am. I keep my cars for the long haul. Hell, I'm never selling the Lightning and a guy offered me 20k last week for it.

At the end of the day we're talking about a Kia Stinger, not something that'll hold it's value much I'm sure. On top of that, the black chrome tarnishes extremely easy, which sucks. It's well documented by now.

I pulled the trigger on this grill, so we'll see how it looks installed on my car.

Veronix Grille install finished. While not everyone's cup of tea, I'm liking it. Swapping out the OEM upper grille for the aftermarket grille isn't hard, it's moreso time consuming since there are 16 screws plus clips holding the upper grille on to the front bumper. Now both the upper and lower grilles are non OEM

I don't have an issue with it, I just think it looks like it would be a lower trim grill on a base model or something compared to the GT grill which looks much more upscale with the dark chrome.

I see what you mean. I think it looks a bit different on my car because I have a full mesh lower grille.

You do all that at a park or something?

I did the whole install in the apartment complex parking lot. I used to have a garage at my last complex but I don't have a garage anymore, which is fine because this current one is nicer and cheaper.

I like it...
