I bought it on Ebay all ready cut down with the clips repositioned to fit my 99. It was just like replacing a stock grille. 4 screws at top and 2 clips at the bottom. I did modify the way the clips were repositioned. The seller had used plastic tie wraps which I replaced with small machine screws and nylock nuts.
Someone did a write-up on how to do the cut down. If I find it I will post.

There are some great looking, quality inserts to be had and yours look great. I need one for that opening in the bumper but I want to get fog lights first.

Sometimes I wish I had gone with something more custom, until I get a compliment. Thanks.

I got a crack in my OEM grill over the winter. Probably a rock strike. I bought an aftermarket one on ebay for a 100 bucks. Do a search; grills SD. There are lots to choose from. Some are inserts, but there are lots of complete replacements as well. I'm keeping the old one for my winter front and will just change the whole grill as the seasons change. It's easier.
