I must know over 50 owners personally. There were well over 80 G8Xs at Kies a few weeks ago, and it may become Ms best-selling car ever.
Everyone is either used to it or loves it now that they own it, so I’m just not sure why random E60 or F owners on here think they know the community.

I love the AT gloss black CSL grill. Fit well and looks great, especially with the proper emblem indent for a base badge.

If it could be done, the companies that spent all that time "trying to reinvent the wheel" would have come out with it, knowing it would be a home run for a bunch of potential buyers.

That’s the very reason this thread exists. I’d personally rock the CSL Grill.

I’m glad many options exist - so no two look alike.

At this point, it's just boring talk. Literally only saying something because you want to be heard. Look, we get it, you don't like the way it looks. That doesn't mean 1. you need to say anything and 2. anyone cares to hear your opinion. I've learned that it's much better just to move on and not say anything. Looks are subjective. There are people on here who do "builds" that I think are absolutely hideous. But you know what, they like it and it's for them not me. So I don't say anything, positive or negative. Why intentionally bring more negativity to the party except to call attention to yourself? Just move on. As for the front end, I'm still not the hugest fan, but it's grown on me. Looks way better in person and it wasn't enough for me to not order the car. Let's put it this way..I liked the looks of the F80 much better but never ordered one because the G80 is a MUCH better car. So while I think the looks are more fussy than I would like, it still looks mean as hell and the actual driving performance more than makes up for it. To those of you who got banned, as a moderator on another highly trafficked forum, I'd say it's probably not what you said but how you said it. You're entitled to your opinion. On a forum, repeatedly spamming the forum with negative comments and personally going after people who don't share that opinion as "sheep" or "weak" for not admitting something is what gets you banned. |

CSL grille from AutoTecknic looks the best but I'm obviously biased.

if you want a csl style grille and don't want to deal with the awkward badge issue, there is a chinese ABS replica which has perfect oem fitment and no indentation, i used my oem mounting plate and emblem and haven't seen a better solution IMO.

Definitely looks much better than the stock grill without question

Overall, the install is not hard just a bit tedious. I was able to do it on the ground with the wheels rotated side to side to give me enough clearance for the two vertical bolts holding the bumper on near the fenders. Those are the biggest PIA out of the entire process. If you take the wheels off and remove more of the fender liner those bolts become much easier to remove. Both Kies and RW Carbon have good install videos on Youtube which is what I used for guidance.

I might be biased as an owner but I still don't care much for the oem grill but love the CSL style. So take that for what its worth

I wish someone would make an alternate bumper with classic kidneys for this car. There was a lot of talk from companies out there how they were going to design a bumper to get ride of the pig snout when the car was still in camo. Looks like no one ever came through.

If IND doesn’t want a discussion like this to get started then they shouldn’t throw fuel on the fire by saying there is positive consensus on a questionable design. IND knows there are strong opinions about this and should know better. |
