Default B9.5 Canadian Auto Performance Grille and ACC

I picked up a CPO 2023 Daytona Gray S5 a couple of months ago. I had been in the market for quite a while and this one was too good a deal to pass up. Unfortunately, it didn't have the black optics I am partial to. I'm working on figuring out the best way for a "chrome delete" with wrapping but the chrome accents in the grille are always going to stand out if I just have the edges wrapped. I came across the CAP RS5 style grille which looks amazing but have read a variety of the grilles from others either have issues with adaptive cruise control or with the front facing camera, both of which I have. I can find a fair amount on the B9 grilles but I haven't seen anyone on here with the B9.5, nor can I find any information regarding their camera mount, install, etc. Between blacking out the chrome and a VPS resonator delete I'm hoping it boosts my enjoyment just a bit on my awesome daily driver. Does anyone have any experience with this grille?

Default Grille

just came from an A5 Daytona w/black optics and when I found my S4, it had the chrome. I was thinking the same as you for wanting to swap the chrome for black, but the silver has grown on me and now I love it.
Hated the grille though, and it had to go. There were so many aftermarket ones to choose from, and I ended up getting a “factory” black optic grille from eBay for a couple hundred bucks.
Works perfectly and everything lined up with no worry about my sensors or camera.
take a look and let me know what you think
