If it bugs you that much that you're driving a Chrysler, pay the Benz tax and get an SLK 32. Then you can have a grille that looks like a Norelco.
Those of us that have made the grilles fit properly through LOTS of time and effort feel differently, and it has little to do with being ashamed of driving a Chrysler, it is exactly as I stated, I do not want to share the front end with an inexpensive minivan, Chrysler or otherwise.

I think the mesh grille, the way they come out of the box are crap from a fitment aspect. It took me 10+ hours to get it to look and fit the way I want it to, and it is still not done, but it is fun to change and mess with it.

I think it is funny that so many people will immediately think if you change something on the car that you are ashamed it is a Chrysler or that you could not afford the benz, neither are true, it is MY car and I make it the way I want, which IMHO is MUCH better than the OEM product, many do not share this belief and that is what makes the world go around.
