While we're waiting for the .jpg.....my engine lid grille is ugly. They are handsome, but this one has faded from black to light grey. Pretty ugly on a Mocha car. 911SC. I wish I knew how to treat it. Black Again? Painting it would be cheezy, I think. Now if I could get a handsome carbon fiber grille cheap, that would be great.

Krylon semi-flat black works good.

Per John's suggestion I've had great results with Krylon, looks great after several years.
Two or three light coats, took my time and didn't load it up.

Yes i am selling these if you are interested.
Manufacturing is mould for some parts, machine most parts, and then glue.

Totally unnecessary. And yet so totally cool. I think I want one...
Is it stiff enough to prevent the Heavy Hand syndrome where grills get pushed in?

Well it it made off full vacuum infused carbonfiber so it will not bend, that is not possible. It is very flexibel, so compared to the F model made of alluminium i would think it is mutch stronger. 600-650g
