If the grill turns out to be too polarizing for enough people, I'm sure the aftermarket will come up with a bumper that combines the G8x M3/M4 lower section with the OEM G20 grill, and a corresponding hood that borrows the M3 styling (or perhaps a more aggressive, custom design).

One possible complication is getting the G22 (/G82/G23/G83) headlight, which could be wider than the G20 headlight, to work with the G20 grill. If that's a no-go, then said aftermarket solution would also need to be designed around and incorporate the G20 headlight as well which would obviously complicate things (and make the swap considerably more expensive too, no doubt). In particular, it is not a given that the top outside edge of the G20 headlight will properly lineup against the front edge of the G80 fender.
