    Yes there will be a hole there. People have still managed to put grills behind them zip tied down.

    Supply and Demand. They are the only ones that sell them new, so they set whatever price they want

    you can try looking but I haven't found any new that are cheaper

    not to bash, but it seems odd that you bought something before having a clue what it was or worked.

    They will look great on the car tho!

    They will require a significant amount of work to get them to look like an OE part.

    Both in prep work and reshaping of the insert to match your bumper.

    There are grill replacements that look great, like the GXP mesh ones, but you would have to fabricate your own to look like the GPOs and IMO they wouldn't look very good. Opening in the newer models is just too big for it to look right.

    The link I provided in Post #5 is the link to where you USED to be able to buy them. They have since discontinued the grills. I too would like to buy a pair, but you will have to find them on Ebay, CL, or a wrecked GP. Most people that have them, will not want to get rid of them. Sux but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

    Email them. See if you can get a response. If you can and they will do another run let us know, they would probably be more willing if there was a group buy going, and that may get a discount as well.
