I was thinking of going polished, the black Roush grills look good to but too exspensive for me.

Was thinking of getting one off ebay but ive heard a lot of negitive things about ebay grilles..

Dont do it. i am jacking with sending one back as we speak. Stick with a brand. I decided to do the ebay thing, and it didnt work for me. im sure some have had ok results....there were some others that had to do some hand bending and things like that.
Of my three carriage works.....zero anything, just followed install instructions fit perfect

Yea that looks pretty cool. Some billet grilles, you can easily see the verticle bars behind the horizontal billet bars, is your grill a bolt on by any chance?

Yes its a bolt on, and you can hardly see the vertical bars, even up close. I get compliments on it all the time.

I think desert dawg had one from street scene and was good quality. another one i read was precision, but they had to hand bend it and i dont care for doing that, sometimes you may have to on some from it being shipped, but mine was like over half inch too concave or whatever you call it. The carriage works are made in Grandview, MO also. Anoher reason i buy from them. Made in USA and a local shop near kansas city,mo
