Thanks Steve. What I'm really wondering about is are all of the aftermarket grills the same, just in different boxes? Mine says APEC, CVT1070KO. Looking around on line, I do see a Goodmark grill, but is it the same thing in another box? That's what I need to know. I'll buy another one if a quality grill is available, but don't want to buy another low quality part. Here's some of the issues with the grill I bought.

-With the grill bars against the fenders on the side, the gaps vary about 1/2", and the top bar is 1/2" away from the top of the fender. These should be flush with the fender and on the same plain.
-The bottom bar is about 3/4" out of flat. Too much to pull down to meet the apron panel.
-With the grill pulled in place with the 6 side bolts, the top latch panel bolt holes miss by at least 1/2"
-The grill is 1/2" to 3/4" too far forward in the front center and the center hits to bumper filler panel.
I'm use to fitting aftermarket parts, but this is so bad I can't believe they sell it.
Keep in mind, this is a chrome grill, so cut and welding isn't a very good option.

Please let me know if there is a quality grill available, and what experience anyone has had with these grills. Thanks.
