Default Feedback on this grill
Hey guys, Ive been out for a long time (3 or 4 months) I decided that i should get up on my hobbie and start modding my car again. I went to ebay and saw this grill and was wondering how it was, thought some of guys here on CL would know.

Gman, how is the fit. Are there any gaps? does it bolt or snap right in or do you need to do some modifying to install it?

That one on ebay doesn't fit right, it has to be modded a lot for it to fit. Not really worth it IMO.
