So many grills. Best G82 w/ACC no screws?

Can someone point me to the highest quality replacement grill (ABS or CF) for the G82 with ACC that doesn’t require screws or double sided tape? Am I right in understanding that’s typically the one piece replacements vs two?

There’s so many options it creates a bit of analysis paralysis, but when I find grills that are high quality they don’t seem to support ACC.

I know the ACC sensor is ugly, but I’m stuck with it.

Thank you!

Yup that would be the one piece grill that you want, snaps right in like the stock one. The two piece ones need tape or screws.

I'm running the Vorsteiner ABS. It's a one piece design that attaches the same as OEM.

Do note that even though it doesn't need screws or double sided tape, you'll either need to trim or remove the forward foam bumper to get it to fit (it sits more recessed than OEM or others), and it doesn't fit the full comp badge.

Thank you. Think I’ll probably pass on theirs. Pretty expensive considering the caveats, but so many other brands it’s hard to know who to trust. :/

I just got my 2 piece CF Vorsteiner grille. Wasn't aware of the installation nuances between 2 piece and 1 piece. Whatever though, a shop is going to do the install so I don't care. Just wanted the best possible grille I could think of.

What makes you believe it’s the best?

By best I meant the best looking to me. Other than that, Vorsteiner as a brand is widely considered as one of the best for quality.
