I emailed them about fitment. I'm going to give them a day or 2 then I'll just buy it and do a review on here. No group buy has been set up because the guys never got back to the emails about it yet. Even if you don't do a group buy, its only $75.

I just bought the one from racer_guys on eBay. Should be here in a week or so. I'll let everyone know how fitment is, post some pics, and if I needed to make any modifications, I'll let you know how I did it.

Ok I had to stop lurking just for this thread... I installed this grille On my neighbors (Peanut) 2002 MCS and the fit is terrible, as a matter of fact the lower one didn't fit at all and we are at a loss. YMMV

I'm sorry to hear that, because this one (in chrome) was the one that I thought looked best.

I guess the stock slats in chrome, then, unless the couple brave souls on this thread who bought them report better results....

Thanks for the info!

C ya,

Thanks for the info. From what I hear the later years had better fitment than the 02 or 03. I'm hoping I dont have to go through a bunch of BS with it. We'll see though. 6 days and counting until I get it.

To the lurker,

Perhaps the lower grill has to be modified like the aero grill. ie, cutting it down to fit.. ??
