RK Sport CF Grill Question On the RK Sport site it says that the grill has the rksport logo on it. In one picture you can see it. In the front on shot it appears to not have the logo. Can someone clarify to me if it does or does not have it on there. I like the idea of the grill, but i don't want it to say RK Sport on the front of my car.

There are 2 versions. You have to specify if you want the one without the logo. That's the one I got and I love it. Some have bashed RKSport's carbon fiber with good reason. They turned out a batch of interior overlays awhile back that the resin turned yellowish/green after time. Not exactly their fault as the items were fabricated overseas and to their credit they stopped carrying those items. However, their carbon fiber grilles are apparently done elsewhere and they are flawless. Top quality finish and fit and the weave is not distorted at all.

Not the best pics, but hopefully gives you an idea. I've gone with a retro/modern theme on my cars which basically means a mix of retro touches with modern materials, hence the 1st gen emblems on modern carbon fiber. Little touches like that throughout the car.
