I like the idea of going with a black XL or KR grill with the black bumper cover for the center just to break up all the chrome on the front. It's on my wish list.....
Any pictures of the matte finish up close, next to the sport grille and surrounding plastic of the intercooler? I guess I would assume that the matte finish would be better, as the grille is a flat texture. But it sounds like the matte finish marks up easily compared to ABS?

Damn, I was undecided about the matte black or textured ABS, glad I went with the textured ABS. Is the matte black more of a plastic material? The textured ABS I got is technically still BumperShellz but is also part of their ToughShellz line. It's more of a rubbery finish and very pliable. I'm happy with it, but would be perfect with a little less texture.
I changed out my grille and inter cooler trim but here is a comparison picture for anyone trying to decide.

Yeah, yours looks better.
Mine looks fine from five feet away... but up close, not fantastic.
Did you have any figment issues with getting the shell to sit flush with the lower valance?
