i was wondering if i were to buy a 99-00 aftermarket grill for my 99-00 conversion, would it make a gap in between my parts?

because i want my front end to be flush, but i see a lot of pictures that have grilles that look aftermarket, but look flush.
i no the 96-98 aftermarket grilles had a little gap,

but anyway, please help the best you can
thanks!

 

Your best bet is to source out an OEM 99-00 EM1 grill. It will fit better than any knock off, and it's made in two pieces so you can paint the trim without painting the grill.

I had a knockoff "ctr grill" for years, it fit alright, the paint looked "okay" but it isn't nearly the quality and fitment of a real EM1 or CTR grill. Look around at local junkyards, craigslist, etc and you can often find the EM1 grills for $50-150.

I paid $50 for mine, had it painted for $60. And it is an oem grill that fits perfect.

Compare that to my knock-off grill that I had that was $50 shipped, I spent $40 on automotive paint and clear coat, and had a much lower quality product.

 

well see the thing is its hard for me to find one locally,
and because its hard, online is easy, but then i have to pay for shipping

and i dont no what a good price is for a grill piece because its expensive,
but thanks for the advise!

 

go to car-part.com

Shipping should be $10-20.

Just call the junkyards and tell them what you need.

 

i got my grill from jdmshit.com, great quality great fitment i've had mine for 4 years and no complaints, ohh i paid like 40 bucks including shipping

 

You can convert stock grill to ctr style, tons of write-ups on it, took me a few hours to do

 

that looks aftermarket i wanted oem thanks tho! i looked at it

 

can u please give me some links?
i swear ive searched and only found one to do for a 96-98 grill
please help me!
