Thanks Darrin

 

you need the contact chikenears on this one , he did a 2001 speed grille, I think it looks great, but he is forever the perfectionist

 

Thanks .How do I get in touch with him

 

I have a 2001 and faced the same problem you have. The SS grille is too big for the opening if you try to use the original grille frame, cutting out the horizontal and verticle bars. I got mine in that way but I don't reccommend it.

What I DO reccommend is the method that RTKILLA and TampaSVT used. They took the entire original grille out and installed the SS grille with pull ties. This method is different in the respect that the SS grille is now too small for the opening. They "gently" stretched/bent the edges out to fit, drilled small holes, and used pull ties.

Here's a pic of mine. You do not want to leave any of the original grille in. Notice, in mine, that the grey edge of the original grille is still there. I'm going to redo it as soon as I get a chance.

Do a search of my name and look for my post about installing a SS grille. I posted some pics that might help you understand why I think TampaSVT and RTKILLA's method is better.

You can find the search option at the top of the page.
