the wait continues . . .
Just so you know . . . I ordered mine on April 3rd and still no sign of it (today is Apr. 30th).
It was not "in stock", so their production folk were put to work. According to them, the grill was fabricated & had already been sent to the paint shop, by Apr. 10th.
On Apr. 15th I emailed them to check on their progress; they replied on Apr. 17th, stating that the paint shop has been very busy, and everyone is lining up to get their parts painted for the summer . . . apparently I am not anywhere near the top of their waiting list!
I emailed them again (!!) on Apr. 26th questioning where my part was, & they responded that the paint shop told them they could pick it up the next day. As of right now, I am still patiently awaiting any notice of shipment (BTW . . . just like Nextmod, I am located in Canada).
So as for customer service, all I can say is . . . at least they are responding to my emails.
cheers

terrible angle and bad pic from my phone, but here is my nextmod grill after a lot of sanding and prepwork, even reinforced it a little with more fiberglass.

Agreed that black does look sick.. I can't decide which one to go with.. Hopefully by next pay check I will figure it all out..
I had a slight bit of problem with fitment issue, but I think it has to do more with the condition of your car. On my car, I had to "stretch" it a bit to make it fit and when I removed it was the same way. I installed it on a friends car (zweetdremz) and I had no issues what so ever, it went on like it was the stock piece. My car never been wrecked before so I know that isn't the reason.

Mine didn't have flawless fitment either but I had one of the first batches. I know the pieces he's made recently have been top notch. And his AE lip kit is flawless.

Grille received & installed . . .
Well it took a while (almost 4 weeks) to finally get the grille, but now that it's installed all is forgiven.
The quality of the fiberglass work (finishing) isn't 100%; when I unwrapped it, and viewing it up close, I could see a few small blemishes. I considered complaining, but went ahead with the install regardless.
No regrets . . . honestly, unless you are very close to the grille, they are quite invisible . . . unless of course you are close enough, & viewing in the perfect light & at the perfect angle. I tried to photograph them, but they are so barely visible, I'm not even going to post them.
The fitment was pretty fine; I used silicone to bond it to the surround, and lots of strips of masking tape to hold it perfectly in place. It does require some finessing to get the fit just right, but the resulting fit is pretty damn fine.
cheers.

Badgeless grill is a must do on wwp. I bought this off a friend for a good price, and he had it painted it flat black. Not sure if it's NextMod or Speedline, but I don't care, because it's looks sweet imo, and was a great price 
I've been wanting one of those for a long time!
