Pissed about my new grill....

So I bought a billet grill and bumper insert off ebay, I did not want one where I had to cut my OEM grill up too much so I sent the seller an email and they said that it was not an insert/overlay that it completely replaced the stock honeycomb grill, I saw pics of it and it only showed the grill surround with the billet grill flush behind it no evidence of the honeycomg portion or the little trim piece that sits flush with the chrome surround....Then I get teh part and you have to cut out the honeycomb mesh and leave the honeycomb surround along with the chorme surround......Anybody have a link ot a brand that simply lets you remove the honeycomb half of the grill and just bolt on the new grill to the existing chrome surround?

What kind of grille do you want? That might help us find one for you. There are many grille that do not require cutting of any kind. How much are you willing to spend?

Roush with no emblem or something similar is what I am looking for, there was someone on here that bought a new truck that they said they might sell me but he decided to keep it that is why I went ahead and bought the one i did. Looking to spend about $100 or so...

My choice is gonna be the Carriage Works. Have a link at home that seems to be the best price for them. I'm going with black on my FX4.

Do you recall how much you paid for yours? There is a place about 5 miles from my house that sells carraige works products, just want to see how their pricing compares....Also was it model # 42102? No biggie if your not sure just curious....
