Had a big crack down the middle and various other stress fractures. I'm certain I can repair it, but it's not a high priority at the moment. At least I got a refund for it.

Here's the thread I had on it
yep, fitment takes time and fabrication took some ingenuity - the mesh is not aftermarket - it is the P7 grill - I also have the P7 surround that I painted black, but I ordered koshi side spats and the lower splitter to match the surround so I wanted to take a shot on the surround.

Yeah, they supply some generic honeycomb mesh with the ebay grille that looks horrible. Yours turned out really great though, it's also a plus that your surround didn't arrive broken like mine did. Only reason I didn't take the same route you did was simply because I would have had to drop on a whole lot of other carbon parts in order to make things cohesive, on top of doing repairs...

I think some of the confusion over this, is that the website says "In Stock", and the shipping is 5-10 days. It's been about 9 weeks since I ordered - it would go a long way to hear some updates from the source. Quality takes time, and I'm not trying to rush anything here, but it seems no one has received theirs yet, and I am a little concerned.

Personally I was aware that the website "In Stock" wasnt accurate, and we had to wait for fitment and final inspections before them being released. However, its been quite a while now from all the updates we have gathered so far... Ill likely wait till end of this month before going a different route.

I got this on Sep 24th. They said shipped out within the next few days, but it's been 11 days and not a peep. We'll see....

And now everyone sees why I was NOT the one who wasted anyone's time. This is typical for them and exactly the reason why the delays exist.

I sent an email to Koshi Group, see if they could do a P7 grill surround.

Everyone's situation is different - I mention this because I don't mean to cause any issues here. I asked for a refund over a week ago, and have not heard back. Not upset, or angry, just need to move on after 3 months. (When I bought the grill, the website said "in stock' and "shipping")

A few weeks prior to this, I emailed for an update and didn't get a response.

Your mileage may vary, I hope the grill is perfect for those that ordered them.

Any update on these Vehicle Revolution grills? It seems not a single order has been delivered.

I finally got tired of the excuses and tried to cancel my order. Emailed them three separate times and all I got back was crickets. I finally started a dispute thru PayPal and they didn't respond to them either. After a week PayPal sided with me and refund all my funds. Not sure what their deal is but I gave up.

If I don't get any tracking info next week I'll go through the process of getting a refund too.
I reached out today and last I heard is the grilles are in Canada getting labelled and shipped via UPS to people that ordered in the US. So I think a week is more than enough time to print a label for something and mail it
I've also been waiting since July and put an order in the second is showed up on the site and said "In Stock"
