How does it attach to the car?

How does it attach to the car?

It looks like it should be a direct replacement for the insert on the GT - which attaches to the bumper cover (and, from what I've looked into, you have to remove the whole bumper to change that part). There are some tabs on the back of the OEM part around the outside that insert into the bumper cover.

Funny thing is, even in carbon, this is probably cheaper than the OEM GT insert (which MSRP is $2k).

That's how I'm hoping it attaches, but I have also seen carbon fiber parts that while they are real carbon fiber, they just double stick tape over top of the original part... Not having any experience with this company, some details about how the parts actually get installed would be great!

Just me guessing at this point, but from the photo, it doesn't LOOK like it is installed on top of the existing part - but I can't say that for sure. So yes, would be good to see some details. Their website is blocked for me at work, so I can't even check to see if there's any additional detail there at the moment.

Elmer’s paste

On their website, they have some items labeled as stick by 3M tape and other items labeled as replacement. This grill in particular is labeled as replacement, so it seems like it attaches using the OEM fastening system and not any adhesive or "Elmer's paste"

Yup, just opened it up on my phone. And as I thought, all versions MUCH cheaper than the OEM one. I'd actually consider the forged carbon version for mine if it were glossy.

The reason I know even anything about the OEM one is that there's one sitting in my living room at the moment. A rock cracked my existing one a month or two ago and I bought an OEM replacement off eBay for like $500. I haven't gotten around to swapping it yet just because of the hassle of removing the bumper. I couldn't find any decent way to remove it from the front (even tried some suction cups to pull it straight out).

Is hard to take the grill out and usualy will break some clips

Is a replacement.

Not probably, is it in fact, we have factory carbon prices and we are in the beguinning, prices cant be high

Here there is not much to explain, is taking the old out and replace with our carbon.

Why our site is blocked? Can we make something on our side?

Na, just a really strict firewall that apparently has filters for how "new" a website is. I'm sure it'll eventually work but I don't know what that "new site" timeline is for it.
