Yeah but it won't clip right in.

You can use glue to stick it there or modify the clips.

I bought the same grille, looks good but its not a perfect replica. IMO for $60 vs. double or triple that for a real one, worth every penny!

I've seen it done on black and nogaro, looks ok. I was always a fan of chrome rings though

i think if done right the yellow would really contrast with the black. i will be painting the mesh in the front and rear bumpers black and tenting the windows. i also ordered rings for the trunk. not sure if i will put them on but thought about painting them black as well. but part of me also really like the chrome rings

I wasn't being serious, I probably would keep the front rings chrome. Maybe paint the grille trim black.. Black rear rings would be nice on a yellow car.
