For only $36 bucks, this lower grill looks pretty good!
I bought this off of Amazon a couple of days ago, and got it via UPS today.
Installation was a snap as it fit perfectly......drop it into the slots in the lower bumper, fasten two clips at the top and over two tabs in the top of the bumper, run two screws tight, and you are done. All holes and hardware lined up perfectly.
The instructions are worthless.....fit it in with the hood open, then get your flashlight and shine it down the holes in the bottom of the grill so you can see where the top tabs are in the bumper. Have a very short phillips head screwdriver handy and after you fit the supplied clip in place, just hand tighten the two screws and finish tighten with your screwdriver.
Even though it was only a little over $36 (with free shipping!), it seems very well made and the leading edges are shiny and straight........

Although it is probably easier to run the power chord out this huge gap, there are plenty of places under the bumper to drop the chord out and connect it.....

I am on my 2nd one. Popped over a hill at 75mph into a flock of Hungarian Partridges in the road. Took 2 dead center in the lower grill. Knocked the lower tabs loose on the grill but the top 2 held. Probably saved me an intercooler. Had a new one in a week from ebay and installed in about 5 mins. Under $50 shipped and looks way better than that open hole in the front bumper.
