It has been a few years since I removed the original one. I now have fiberglass fenders that seem to fit OK (with some wrestling). Now when trial fitting the new grill, the sides have a gap between the grill and fender(near the turn signal area). I remember the grill did not fit really tight there, but this seems excessive. Before I start trimming the fenders, I just wanted to know if there is normally any gap there. Thanks.

From the photo it looks like your grill is tight to the body all around (nice truck by the way).
