I just bought a badgless grille off ebay and im having trouble with the bottom snaping in... anyone know if you have to do any modifications to it?

 

What grille (brand, seller)? Might be pertinent information.

same brand as that....

 

I returned mine for a refund when I purchased mine from them. You have to cut a small inlet on either side. They gladly refunded my $$$ and then I purchased a VRD look a like for about $100 on ebay...They will probably do the same if you decide to return it...

 

ill super glue that hoe....

 

good old ebay fitment.
never fails...or should i say, always fails. lol

 

and if you bought it at that price, then thats why it doesnt fit.

 

well it was either that plus 20 dollar shipping or ....37 ..free shipping..same thing

 

or more $ for a brand name grill that will fit...

 

I dont think paying 100 dollars for 2 feet of plastic is needed. Ill pay 20 and cut it...and it will look just the same...

 

REAL grills arent plastic but ok. lol
GL with that

 

lol @yellowxhoodie.

Some people don't like to pay a lot for certain parts on a car. For instance, I bought my spoiler on eBay for $130 or so. But then I paid $215 for imported Rumion blue mirrors from Japan.

I agree with the OP on the grille. I'd rather pay more money for different parts on a car.

 

i understand not wanting to pay alot, but why make a thread about it?
if you dont pay alot you shouldnt expect it to fit perfectly

 

Yup. This one certainly won't cook my brats and burgers...

 

psh, i bet i could cook em on there.
dont know how edible theyd be though.

 

ebay grill sux *****. had one yrs ago and u need to cut it to make it fit, either cut it or cut the bumper. I gave up on it

 

Id rather spend more money on performance...lol at plastic grill...ill eat your fake burgers captain..but you will pay for exlax i would need.
The reason I made it is because maybe someone already did it and they could just tell me where to make the cut on the grill so it will snap in...its dark outside and i just wanna wake up ..cut and snap..beautiul..happy. the OEM is plastic..unless you have a R.S model so who gives?

 

hey man u gotta cut slots in the grill for the tabs in the bumper to slide in, same as mine from ebay

 

yea but the OEM grill comes with the car so it fits...

if you want some real advice from me, here it is...

take your front bumper off and look at the mounting tabs on it from the inside, then trim the grill where needed. or take your OEM lower grill and line it up with the aftermarket one and trim where needed

 

The very corners of the grille need to be trimmed, search and theres a DIY for it when the grille first came out.

Don't take my advice? I've had 2 of them, I would.
