2017 Grand Sport Satin Finish Grille Pics
I've been wanting to see these close up for some time, but I hadn't seen any close up photos. I took these today for those wanting to see what the satin finished grilles look like.

Not bad. I prefer Carbon Flash Metallic. But, what the heck, its a GS and the entire car looks great!!

Although I like the Carbon Flash, I like the satin finish more. I would be happy with either though.

Frankly, I'm happy with any of the three - satin black, carbon flash or gloss black. As long as it's black and not body-colored :P
I'm guessing the satin is easier to wipe stuff off of or hide dings, but I'm getting the vent openings XPEL'd anyway and I need to run a front license plate covering most of the front lol.

I need to go over to your "Guess" thread now, but I had not seen an e-mail update for that post.

That does look good, but so does the carbon flash version. Either way, you can't lose.

I really like the CF too, it looks great on the "accents" and i definitely found the time I spent painting the splitter and finishing it off with clear coat and polish to get that gloss finish.
I really do love the new Grand Sport, but I am so attached to my baby. It has certainly provided me with many smiles and I just can't part with it (I know, totally irrational). Mine tends to be very unique and polarizing here in GA. I can't tell you how many times I have heard the sincere "beautiful car" or the "great car, bad colors".

So I put XPEL on the vent openings in the grille and now they look glossy LOL
