i dont understand how this is different..all you did was paint it a different color. But it does look like a good paint job, but also i hate to break it to you but the left emblem is uneven

WTF is your problem? It's a lot differernt, and I hate to break it to you, but it's not uneven. It's just the slope of the grille.

Looks great. Can't wait to see it on the car.

I just bought a used SS grille and need mounting hardware. SLP's looks like this....



Are you using the stock mounting screws or did you use some from the hardware store?
