Yeah, I was going to put honeycombs behind it but when I took it to my body shop they couldn't get it on. The brackets didn't line up. If someone is good with bending(using heat) and have patience to do trial n error then go for it. I'll sell mine lol

looks like it replaces the surround also right? your talking about the metal L brackets not lining up? i would just find a fab shop and see what they could do? should be able to just use a propane torch to heat it up enough to get a little bend in them, if its not to much.

try taking the entire bracket off your stock set up and see if it will mount.

are those metal rods on that new grill supposed to be there? i would think there would just be holes for the brackets off the old one.

Yes, the grille has the surround made into it. N if I was good w/a torch I'd try. But I'm not! Lol but the brackets are made into the fiberglass. If yal would like to try it everything else looks good. Just buy it from me lol. I'll findout a shipping quote. My body shop said there is no way to get it bent. I personally think they are scared to break it.

I have and they said it should fit. They said to just bend it using heat.
