I was going to say that it didn't really match the bottom grill... But if you love it, that's all that really matters.

@theaussie i might paint the bottom grilles gloss black to match im not trying to have the bottom grilles cheap mesh since the kamei grille is no where cheap and thanks for the positive feedback with this upgrade i did

Being honest, I think the stock grill looks better(especially with the chrome surround blacked out). Is that emblem removable?

Tell me about it!
I wish I could find one with the identical diamond shape and size as the lower grills, without the rings, but with the chrome surround… seams like something I'll have to hack together myself :/

I tried this look for about 30 seconds when I had my allroad, took it right off because I hate it though.

Ended up going this route -

Not only removable, it ships packaged separately, not installed on the grille. I installed the same grille on my 01 Allroad, but never bothered with the flimsy little kamei logo. My car is black, so it does not look out of place like on other colors.

I used the heat gun method and pulled them apart enough to pull the yellow lens out, reheated pushed back together taped it up while I did the other side.
