like the OEM grille does? IE: tabs that fit into slots in the bumper of the car?

I ordered an SP grille and the fit is lousy, I am going to have to send it back, there is no way it's ever going to fit. There's too much of a gap at the bottom edge in the center, it tapers from about 5/8" in the center to 1/4" at the bottom side edges.

No body shop in on the planet is going to be able to fix this thing unless they re-mold the fiberglass!

The old adage is true " You get what you pay for" or " There is no free lunch."

sorry to hear about your fitment. my replica doesnt have the tabs on the bottom, but it fits quite perfectly. as for gialla, im not sure if theres tabs or not.

 

I saw the ad for the ones made by Ionic Dynamics........ so I ordered one of them!

We'll see how that goes!

Thanks!

iondynamincs? i cant say i heard of them

 

My replica grill fits just fine I use 2 sided tape to secure the bottom part. This way it won't rattle or go anywhere very secure and easy fix. Goodluck with your purchase hope it fits better.

 

yeah, i thought the sp grill used 3m double sided tape at the bottom, that may be why you're having fitment issues, keep us posted as i'm in the market for a grill

 

Genuine Gialla grille does not use tabs on the bottom. It uses 2-sided tape. Fitment on mine was perfect.

 

my data grille has tabs on the bottom

 

My Gialla replica does not have any tabs and Im not using any sort of tape either. Just using the top four mounting points and it holds fine, especially since the hood holds it down and in place

 

^ what he said....Gialla gives you 2-sided tape to attach on the bottom...i think its four pieces they give....

 

I was searching for info on the Gialla Grille and came up with another look alike/replica. This must be a very new venture considering the date of the post. They are listed as a sponsor of the forum, so I crossed my fingers and placed an order!

There was no double sided tape with the SP grille and it would have to be strong enough to hold an elephant; considering the size of the gap at the bottom between the body and the grille. No way ANY type of tape is gonna hold that baby, there were no instructions, therefore no mention of it.
