Excellent fit. I bought the matte black to try and match the rest of the trim and it looks factory installed.
Removing the OE chrome grill "nuts" was a bit of a pain, so I elected to just snap the plastic threads off rather than attempt to remove them. I wouldn't plan on keeping the OE grill as the plastic threads and stamped nuts are practically destroyed no matter how gentle you are.
The upper grill snaps in and use the same fasteners as the OE. The new stamped nuts can be a bit annoying, just seat the nut on the ball of your thumb and turn. Once the nut cuts into the plastic use a nut-driver to snug up--don't over tighten.
The lower grill just snaps in. I cleaned and plasti coted the bumper black, as you can see the bumper color behind the new grill--my car is red so it really stood out.
This grill makes the car look so much better and more up to date. I really like it.

I bought these thinking that they might be cheaply made, but I was really surprised. Instead, I read on the box that they were made in Germany; hence, the reason for the high quality. If you buy these wheel center caps, you will not be disappointed. They are very high-quality.

Ordered union jack washer covers and k and N air filter and was very pleased with the service and speed of shipping.
Can't wait to visit the store in the near future.
