Are all of the grills manufactured from molded plastic, or are some of them metal? I know the Base model is molded plastic and I'm assuming the Black Diamond as well, since appears to be the same grill with white lettering.

Also, does anyone know if the grills are interchangeable? I'm guessing they would be, but not certain.

It's been my understanding from the jump that grills will be interchangeable. I would assume that they'll all be molded plastic, with different finishes/paint (though obviously I can't confirm, and confirmation doesn't seem to hold up with much around here)

Once deliveries are taken, we should set up a Grill Swap thread

Yes. They are clearly interchangeable. Even the lights swap out.

They’re all plastic. The Base is just unpainted plastic.

I figured all the grilles were metal except for the base. I guess I'm setting myself up for disappointment?

Crash standards don’t allow for metal grilles.

If that's correct, how are Bull Bars, Brush Guards & Grille Guards allowed.

What about the "shuttered grilles"? Are those mechanical or electrically operated?
