wow.. why is it so hard for a company to make a grill that just pops in like nobody's business? what's with all the jury-rigging to get the thing to fit in there.. it's not like it's that difficult of a part to begin with ya know....

So it would be almost $300 if you wanted to replace the top and bottom grills, especially if you wanted to do the little air vents too... and the grill doesn't even correctly fit if you remove the whole stock grills... It's just a piece of metal, maybe nicely painted, but in all honesty, you would sell a ton of these if it was a direct replacement. People don't want to fit it over their existing grill... Grillcraft? Anyone? Listen up.

As far as pricing goes, the 3 piece lower kit is $139.98 and the upper grille is $109.98. Any more questions, feel free to ask, we are here to help!

Eh... it's a non-performance part. I'm glad they made quality #1. That's great. But maybe they need some feedback. Unless you have to weld something yourself, taking off the bumper and bolting something on isn't the hardest thing in the world. Everyone around here who dislikes the grill is complaining about the fact that it isn't a replacement and you can totally see the stock grill and logo through it. I know you're just the retailer, so my complaint isn't with you. I'm just letting you know that if I could get a grillcraft grill (upper and lower) for $250 that would completely replace the stock grill, I'd order it right now.

Well that's where you're most likely wrong. I do not doubt that you can cut the stock grill and secure the grillcraft one and make everything look good. But I don't want to cut the stock grill. And if you ever sell the car, anyone will tell you, aftermarket parts almost ALWAYS lower the retail value. Unless you're selling to some kid who totally knows the scene already, people don't trust cars with aftermarket parts on them. Seeing all the stock parts means that you haven't messed things up. Not only will you not get your money back on what you buy for it, you'll probably lose money on the whole package. That doesn't mean it doesn't look good - I'm sure it does. People just won't trust it (I wouldn't)

Looks great. Just a tip for people getting the grill craft grill.
