I wouldnt buy from that vendor.
I did, thought the price was good. The first grille arrived damaged, the top bar was badly bent and welds were cracked. Just putting these in a box and bubble wrap isnt enough protection, as any pressure on the top will bend it.
They said I had to file with UPS, who gave the ok for a replacement. It took a few weeks to get it, and it was bent again, just not as bad and I managed to straighten it out.
However, I dont think they are fabricated properly, at least the two I received werent. The main bend down the center of the grilles is bent too much, so it doenst match up with the hood. It points out in the middle so you can see the black top edge of the grille sticking out.
My advice is to get one that is specifically the Precision brand, as everyone here has had positive feedback on them. There was one other member who had the exact same experience as me with the vendor you are considering.

I have the same grill and though it's not perfect it looks decent. It was only $100 which is way cheaper than I found anywhere else. I say go for it and if you don't like it sell it.

It isn't perfect. Doesn't line up quite right, but it's close enough. One weld I did break by tryin to bend the piece back.

Mine didn't arrive damaged at all, but they don't quite stay all evenly spaced no matter what I did. Someone with more time could have probably maguivered something.

This is my daily driver, and I wasn't prepared to dump a pile of cash into it.

All in all I'm happy with it because I wasn't expecting great things.

Did you get your grill yet Jason? Was just curious if you had gotten one and if you had gotten a chance to install it yet.

i might have bought the same one. easy to install, looks good. i am gonna find a way to put the bowtie on it though. i already removed the one off the factory grille... thinking 3M double sided tape will do it, maybe when it warms up

I was going to do the same thing but the bowtie didn't fit flush all the way across.
