Just wanted to let anyone with a white P5 know about the autoexe grill. You may have heard that it is white from the company. It is pretty close to the white of the car, but not the same. I just got mine and will have to get it painted.

i have a black MP5 and i took off both my top and bottom grille and painted them white. they look hella cool! since you have a white car, i would get them done in a different color or leave it black... thats just my humble opinion!

That's not an autoexe grill. It's the factory grill painted white on jdm_mp5's car.

My car has an autoexe grill on it, but just not in that picture. I've got an autoexe lip I need to get painted and put on the car. After that is done I've got to find a buddy with a digital camera to get those pics up.

taking off the bottom grille is a kinda pain in the ass, but all it consists of trying to get underneath so you can see both side notches.

there are four or of them. you need to get a hand held flathead screw driver in order to push down on the tabs. but before you do that, you will see, i think, it is four pieces of plastic that run vertically in the "mouth" that the grille is attached to. you have to kinda push them forward. i took out both of them so i could paint them. make sure you prime them first, and clear coat them. make sure you get everything, put on several coats. i hope this helps.
