Took delivery on the new Dubstop grille, here are some pics of how it arrived. It is obvious that it is a chinese made product being resold by all of the same vendors. Packaged very well, no damage at all. And overall the quality of mine looks very good. I am impressed with the solidity of the grill honeycomb parts, they are a lot thicker and more durable looking than I thought they would be.

Install done! Very happy overall.
But be warned, this is definitely not a "bolt on" mod. There was a lot of trimming to be done, etc. had to remove quite a bit of material from the bumper cover to get this to fit. also, 2 of the screw holes in the new grill do not light up with the predrilled spots on the bumper cover. And those 2 screw bosses on the grill need to be trimmed down so that it will fit flush. Removing the bumper cover was time consuming but pretty straight forward. Lots of wires, washer lines, etc to deal with.
onto the pics!

I call it a success, looks great, especially with the darker wheels.

Finally installed the Dubstop Grill. I went with the gloss black version. A little tedious with having to take the front bumper off for the install but pretty good fit overall.
Choosing not to install the euro-plate holder and ordered the Show n' Go license plate bracket instead. Also chose to go sans 4-ring for now, only because I realized after the fact that I needed to mount the bracket BEFORE reinstalling the bumper!!!
One question for those that have gone this route...Has anyone found a way to remount the "S6" emblem onto the honeycomb grill?
Now for the obligatory pictures:
