    Honeycomb Grill - S5

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I know this has been discussed a number of times, but even after doing research still not finding the answers I'm looking for.

    I know everyone says they're available on Ebay, but I'm skeptical going this route. I have also heard that EMD used to make them, but don't see them up on their website anymore.

    Does anyone here actually have this on their S5, and if so where did you get it, how did it work out, etc.

    Looking for any recommendations.

    Thanks

    EMD no longer sells them. This is the next best thing unless you go cheap on ebay.

    Thanks. Do you know if this fits right out of the box, or if anything needed to be modified or adjusted?

    No modification needed. They're manufactured by a fellow member here, they're top notch

    What's the expected turnaround time, any ideas on when you'll get it? Interested to hear your feedback.

    Just Black. Personally I think the grill looks better like that.

    ^^ Always love your cars/pictures @MOPS. In fact, keeping images of your cars in mind is why I ended up going with Florett Silver Metallic, this time around. I'll be reaching out soon regarding some new wheels.

    Hey Brock - Carbnlab and Nemesis are actually sourcing them from a supplier that provides for a well known org that specializes in Euro "body kits". These are very nice grilles, and if anyone is curious how they compare to the Chinese ones sold many places - our wholesale cost on the grilles we sell is a good bit more than those sell for in the retail market. MSRP on our grilles is $699.

    Didn't want anyone to think Nemesis and/or Carbnlab manufactures these. 👍🏼

    We do the custom carbon fiber frame in house, that's maybe where the confusion came from!

    Okay that's definitely what i thought. I knew you guys made the CF frame so I made the assumption the rest was as well.

    Out of curiosity, will your CF frame work with an EMD grill? I presume you just remove the grill insert and attach tot he new frame?

    We laminate the actual frame so best thing would be to send in your frame as I noticed some variations from one version to another.
