Front Grill Question

Hey guys I was wondering if the 03-05 G coupes had the same front grill as the 06 G coupe? I bought a aftermarket fiberglass grill and it seems to have a big gap on the sides and bottom when I tried test fitting it...

Must be luck of the draw. My Silvia Parts Gialla Style grille fits perfectly! No gaps bigger than maybe a few mm on the sides but when I installed it I made the gaps even on each side.

I have an 06 and the grill is the same as any other year.

No, still no luck. Whats worse is I already painted mine before test fitting. I also have no mounting points on the bottom of the grill only the top...

Always test fit before painting. It can save you money in case A. the grill doesnt fit and you can exchange it for a new one and B. in case you scratch it while installing it

There are no mounting points on the bottom of the grill, theyre not necessary. Some people use double-sided sticky tape but I chose not to and its plenty stable without
