Are you trying to get a stock grill + $150?

FYI the stock grill costs more than the billet ones, even upper and lower.

I have the same grill. Before you trade your grill, I recommend that you check the damage to your front plastic. The stock grill will not cover the damage caused by the billet grill and may reduce your trade in value!

They are the grilles from airbagit. New cost is $500 for the uppers and lowers. I personally think that they are worth it, and are the ones that I want to put on my car. I would have gladly paid the $150 plus the swap for my OEM grille. The OP decided not to sell, as there were scratches on the bumper that the OEM would not cover up.

Bob, one question, why would you put something on your car that would knowingly damage it?

I would put small pieces of shrinkwrap on the ends of the billet pieces to prevent the scratching.

Actually, the stock grill does minor damage to the paint and bumper at the bottom of the upper grill. Some of the after market grills, like the one in this sale really gouge away at the front of the bumper opening. Not too noticable until you remove the grill. I would deffinitely not recommend this grill to anyone. No way to go back to stock without filler, sanding and paint. Rubber covers for the ends of the grill are a good idea, I will be looking into that. For me the damage caused by this grill is already done.

old man, does the florida grille dig into the front bumper cover? I am in the market for a grille upgrade, and have SRT SIX making me one right now, but I like the one you did, but not if it is going to damage the cover....I have to check with Karl and make sure he hasn't pulled the trigger on that grille first anyway....thanks....

+1, when I first saw them in design, I was not a fan, then I saw the optional gloss black finish and I was hooked, looks like they did an amazing job, thanks for getting them to undertake this.

Edit: In order to install the Florida ones, you need to drill your bumper cover, as they do not use OEM mounting points, there is no way I am drilling my bumper cover, thats for sure.

From their email to me: "Grille Technologies Chrysler Crossfire billet grille upper grille is a full replacement of the factory grille. The grille has 3 welded brackets on the left, right and bottom of the billet grille. You will align the billet grille in place on your Crossfire marking where these brackets touch. Next you'll drill out the bolt holes required to mount. Last step is just mounting the grille up with provided bolts, nuts, washers."
