I would recommend plastidip for the grill. I fabricated sheet metal shrouds for my Fit's fog lights and at first used etching primer and regular paint. This started chipping in a week or two. I sanded it all down and hit them with 2-3 coats of the plastidip and its still looks great 8 months and a horrible new england winter later. Its soft enough to bend and bounce the rock etc off and not chip the paint.

Shorai LFX36L3-BS12 Lithium Iron battery and Kinetic Custom Machine battery tray:
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/107...-tray-package/
This arrived today and I got it installed. The tray is beautifully designed and incredibly well built. It really is one of those parts that feels like the high quality motorsports goodness you see on works race cars. Excellent instructions included explaining the ins and outs of the battery, and detailing each part of the very straightforward install. Really impressed by the quality of everything, even down to the hardware. I had been planning on picking up this battery after seeing many other s2ki members use it for extended periods with no issues, and was going to look into have a custom tray made, and this one was already being developed.
Here is the current battery:
And the Shorai:
If you are looking to save a little weight this is a very cost effective (and beautiful) way to do it. Around 23lbs saved in total, my car continues to slowly lose weight.
