Just bear in mind that even though the listing states 03-08, the photo shows a 03-05 grill. It will not fit your 08 properly. Make sure you contact the seller to see if they have the proper grille for your MY.
 
yes it is just a badgeless grill, first time I actually seen some one manufacturing one but there has been others on here that did themselves using two grills. but like said there is a slight difference between the 03-05 grills compared to the 06 and up
 
I still prefer the one that John's making for me. John stands after his 100% Perfect work quality. You will never go wrong with things that manufactured by John.

It will take some modificatinos for the 03~05 grills to fit perfectly on 06~08 model.
 
looks like someone made a mold, but an injection mold mass production style.

once something is mass produced like this they should get cheaper too with time I bet, theres gotta be a thousand of those things in cardboard boxes on boats right now. the price should only go down from there I think. they look nice really.if I wanted that grille I'd rather buy one of those to start with rather than cut & weld together one to try & make it look exactly the same as that one, why bother if you can just buy it. that looks like one piece injection molded & perfect... the only reason to cut & weld is to make something that otherwise does't exist... well it seems this particular grille now does exist... it's no longer a phantom one off custom hand made job, now it's an accessory available on Ebay :) I'm betting a lot of guys love the look & they'll sell a lot of them too...

it's not painted, just gloss black plastic. could be painted too though. depends how it looks in person & how it holds up in the sun without being painted. & likes been said, that's 03-05 style. I never did one of those, I've only done a few of the 06-08's. those still would have to be custom

that's the first part of viets fx to become copied & mass produced... that's the rookie grille to me, he made that grille famous :tup: :smile (2):
 
I ordered one of these , should have it monday ...I had started to screw around with a couple grilles but this seemed so much easier...Hope it looks good in person

This thing looks good but right away you can tell its much lighter than a OEM grille, the paint they put on it is good at best there is some dirt in the paint and some rash from sliding in the box.

all said though its is a pretty nice piece and is worth the money as long as your not Canadian ...$88.40 in additional charges ( duty,taxes) :mad.:

How does it fit on the fx though.

It actually fit pretty good al the holes lined up it came with the factory style clips that snap into the bumper cover ...I thought i remember the OEM grill came out a bit farther but its been awhile since Ive had one on my car.
