Default Chrome Grille

Hey guys... is this the chrome grille that most people have on their cars? I am looking for the chrome grille that most people have.

looks like the sports design one, chroming your grille is a DIY job.

Great price. That's the SD grilled but you can easily DIY this to ur factory non-SD grille by just clearing the paint off the front pillars only

I believe an 01+ grill with only the front of the slats done would look like that, the 98-00 grills have the thinner slats. I did the DIY chrome on only the fronts of my 99 grill and I really like it, it's a little more subtle than the full chrome.

If you can get that Ebay grill anywhere near that price I'd pick it up!
