Aftermarket Denali Grill

I purchased the aftermarket Denali grill and lower bumper insert off eBay. At first install the grill is different from the OEM in that that OEM is a grill shell and insert, whereas the aftermarket is all one piece so there is a subtle difference in appearance in the corners of the "mesh" center part. When I first installed the grill it fit poorly and did not line up up top, but after a little tweaking I've got it lined up perfectly. They forgot to include clips to mount the factory shroud to the grill, so that warrented a trip to Home Depot and $5. Where the top bumper pad clicks into the grill the 2 center most grill female parts are not cut big enough to accept the male bumper pad so that had to be trimmed out as well. The lower bumper insert fit perfectly on the first try.

 

Overall for the price I'm happy with it. The above is a complete comprehensive review and seems like a lot of work at first but now that I've been through it just reading the above should get you through the install pretty quickly. For the price you can't beat it. I'll post better pics once it stops raining.
