Exclamation Grille question

Ok, I know I'm not stupid so maybe you guys can help. I bought a replacement style billet grille. I know that this type you remove the original honeycomb shell and the replacement takes its place. The one i got simply slides over the honeycomb grille and bolts up to it. The moron I bought it from says I'm wrong and its the replacement. Can someone help me out or justify me? Any pictures or anything will help.

I've got the complete replacement. The first billet I bought was the kind that you cut out all the honey comb and leave the border of the grille behind. If yours fits over the honeycomb like you say, then it's just the overlay and not the replacement.

Complete replacement

rsbeachbum got it on the head. It's not the replacement, its just the one that lays over the original honeycomb grille.

The regular grille honeycomb pops out, just like you didn't know, and I replied that it does.

If i took the honeycomb grille out there would be a big gap around it because it is just the bolt over/overlay type.

Ill try as soon as I have some free time. I already put it in because the people I ordered from were morons and wouldn't send me the correct part or a new part since the one I got was damaged. I didn't want to wait another week to ship it back to CA then wait another week for it to get back and it be the wrong one again.
