I bought it from a reputable dealer, but it's probably the same one everybody sells. I was shocked and surprised how bad it fit. I see no way of making it work. If I wasn't into it over $400, I would have thrown it in the pond. It's absolute junk. Can anybody give me your feedback on these after market grills? Did I just buy the wrong one, our are they all like this? Thanks in advance. Ronnie

Did you take measurements of the old grill and the re-pop side by side?

What are the differences and where are they?
