there pretty cheap, it would cost more to ship 1. most yards will sell you a chrome 1 for $30 and a black 1 for $15.

Why don't you just use the grill on your truck? I built mine and had it installed on my truck in less then a half a day.

To be honest, id feel less pressure if I mess it up, although it SHOULDN'T be too hard. What did you use to cut out the inserts?

Gotcha. I used a reciprocating saw and a oscillating saw. And make sure you don't cut the two tabs off the bottom that hold the grill in (I almost cut one off).
