hehe, well, I can't say about the RRM grille, but I've dealt with RRM before (and likely to again in a few days) and they were really good about answering questions and all that stuff. As far as grilles, there is none like the RALLIART grille ! The best "show" mod on my car so far ( and probably for a while heh):

You know I have been noticing a trend when it comes to RRM and most of it's customer problems. Why is it always user error?

At no time at all is there ever an honest mistake on RRM's part?

i was going to flame forum for being a dick, but he is right, grill looks pretty crappy, like it's from a late batch, or someone pulled it from the mold before completely cured. maybe get a bodyrepairshops opinion in writing, and send to RRM?

Note:
I do have a RRM/Carbontrix cf front bumper, and it fits excellent.

I don't know why do you guys are crying so much. It's typical for fiberglass to be out of shape sometimes, it's not a perfect material. If you really want it to fit perfectly just go to a body shop and they will heat it up, stretch it, and make it fit.

If that's the case then maybe RRM should use a disclaimer with the "fibreglass" grill.

Due to the nature of Fibreglass we cannot guarantee a perfect fit....

Customer expectation is for things to always be perfect.

Probably but when it's shipped different temperatures and shipping conditions might change the shape of the fiberglass.
Like I said the material sux, that is why when you get a body kit made out of the fiberglass don't be suprised when one of the side skirts would be 2 feet short.
2 FEET??!!
Yes, that's what happened to my friend. A bit of heat and force and there ya go.

Well I don't know anything about bodykit materials and such but that is great info to know if I ever do decide to buy something.

to be honest, looking @ the shape of the lower part of the grill, looks like not enough mold release compound was used, or someone "pulled" it out of the mold while still wet, or someone was careless w/ the application of the gel/fiberglass in the mold. the bottom has a definate "dip" in it. anyway, my bumper had to be slightly "adjusted" before fitment, mainly stretched a little to get it to line up, but other than that pretty damn good.

I just sold my rrm v.3 grill and it had the same problem the botom center bows up. I do recall that in every version of rrm's grill that is the main problem they were trying to fix

You should know by now RRM is always right and they will always be right until someone can kick them off their pedestral*sp?* 2 years ago we heard only good stuff about RRM. Not anymore.

It's not an issue of kicking anyone off their pedestal or bashing at all.

I just think there is an issue with accountability sometimes, but I'm no vendor. I just noticed that the same type of response is issued whenever a customer has a problem on these forums.
