I think it's time for mine to go too. I noticed at the meet that it doesn't fit anymore...

Mine is developing a good case of the sags, as well. Might be dumpster time

Good for you for actually giving it to him! He does look extremely happy about it.

Thanks Ryan. He earned a 4-year academic scholarship for college so I figured I got off cheap!

I think I got mine too wet one time and now the bottom end near the windshield has fallen out. It doesn't sag too much, but the stuffing is coming out and is getting my engine bay filthy with that and the dust it creates as well.

^Yep. That stuff is nasty. After I cut the liner to fit the strut brace that crap was worse than pollen. It got everywhere.

Mine (ours?) sags at all the spots where it is supposed to connect (the tabs). Had not thought of removing it. Now you have me thinking.

Link to painted grilles. All the grilles are two piece. The outer frame is separate from the slats. Khoalty sends the frames out for custom paint. They look like this when you get them:

Got a reply from Kevin. They do not carry the Mystic Blue Metallic on their color code. So, I will have to do the painting of the wrap around. Do the Matte or Piano Grills come separate from the slats when you guys ordered them?

And was also inquiring if the slats are in matte or piano black.

I would take it that it is easier to paint over the matte black than over a piano black. Please confirm. Thanks.
