Sorry but it is not going to look the same. You need to see it in person I guess.

Its not going to be the sam plus the Mitsu Logo is shaved off yes e could do that do ours but we would have to cut the crap out of the grill then take the time to paint it it would be a pain in the butt. If you want the sleeper look with no mitsu logo, then go for this, if you want a stock grill thats painted black, then do that, But also keep in mind that this grill the mesh is further in than the stock one...

Yes as far as I know Rob took the time to match the grill mesh as best as he could.

It's almost the same, but not quite. The stock mesh is somewhat of a plastic type, where as the RRM grill is real mesh. It looks great, but pics do no justice. Updated pics coming soon

It is very close. Stand back 5 feet and they pretty much look the same.

Grills are finally in stock. MMNA wants a CF one for their RA auto show car along with some other goodies. Can't wait to see it on a new RA.

RRM talked about how you have to cut a piece of metal or something behind the stock grill in order to install their grill....did you have to do that? or did you find a way around it to fit it in??

No. Nothing to cut from what I remember. IF there is something to cut I AM SURE IT IS NOT METAL. Just need to call in and ask for ROMAN or BRIAN. Install is simple enough that we have not seen any call backs from guys getting stuck installing one. They are really hot though and change the whole look of the car, especially with bumper cap and front lip. Looks like an EVO X for sure.
