Just color matched on the frame of the grille. I was hoping to see what it looks like on the car as opposed to the one that debuted on the Longo edition tC's though

The surround piece would be painted. The actual 'mesh' would remain flat black.

the wait on this is nothing compared to the almost 7 months i've been waiting on iKona to get me a product and now a refund.

at least these guys are making sure everything is in order before taking your money.

it's come to the point where the SL admins and mods have had to step in to clean up the situation with him because he's such a flake.

We received the tooling cost for the grille from the new manufacturer... it's quite a bit steeper than the original manufacturer (we see why, LOL).

MSRP if this manufacturer is used: $250.00
ScionLife Price would be at about $230.00 shipped

I'll be PMing a batch of people at a time to see if they are still in or not. We'll be getting the lead time information soon also.

Everything still isn't guaranteed though. The new break even point is actually 200 grilles. If we can get a firm 60 partcipants and I pick up 60 myself, then Five Axis will be confortable moving forward on this. It's a difficult point to start the grille since the tC is on its final year before the model change (maybe 1 more year, nothing confirmed).

you should really go back and read the first post...
