    Looks great. How was the fit overall, and was there any problem lining up the hole in the grille with the tow socket?

    Fit was prefect - no issue with installation. The tow socket though I am not 100% as I haven't had a chance to test it.

    I recently put the GTO grille on my car and had the well documented problem of the tow hook not fitting.

    After the technician at my dealer spoke to another of their dealerships they were able to sort a fix. I think they just bent the tow hook slightly.

    Good to hear. As for the tow socket, it's the round hole to the left of the grille, as you face the car from the front. Look through it and see if it lines up with the socket behind it. You want to do this now and get it sorted if you have to, rather than when you need to install the tow bar some rainy night. I'm curious about the fit because I've heard some reports of alignment issues.

    Thanks. I had a look and i dont think it lins up properly , some benting will be required to get it in. I will need to take the car back to dealer and test it properly when i have time.

    The tow hook is just a threaded ring attached to the frame. My service guy just added a few washers to raise it and then it aligned properly.

    I think it looks great. What are the options for the front? Are there just "standard" and this one? Anyone got side by side pics of the various options?

    Standard black. Vintage silver (also standard/no cost option on Cali "30s"). "GTO" mesh. I think that's it.

    Looks great. A lot sportier. But I'm stumped by the lack of alignment of the 'tow hook' hole; very unFerrari. How much is it? Curious.

    not stumped by the misalignment,the one i installed was tough because curvature was off a bit where it mounts inside bumper cover!
