I believe this problem would not be an issue had the grill not be painted but that's not the case. The unit so far has not dented the grill. I plan to use the Carbonio until the end of the track season when I'll purchase a new grill ($200+ part) and look for a tow-hook plate instead.
Bummer, this is what I thought would happen... Guess I'll keep looking.

Unfortunately I dislike the tow hook solutions. The offset look offends my OCD eye!

Have you got pics? Is the grill just painted black or is it some hard to match colour? Could a bit of touch up take care of it?
