I think all of the aftermarket units are cheesy. I have yet to see one that is any good. Fit finish and quality have all been sub par.

Even Dennis Carpenter admits that they don't have thier new grill perfect yet, they are having trouble matching the Alloy it was originally made of. As far as the rest of them , they fit like crap and are as strong as tinfoil. Finding a good used for originla grill is the best best. I have one that was weathered so I wet sanded it from 800 up to 2000 grit then buffed it with Autosol and an electric buffer, and it looks better than the new one I have still in the box from ford.
