UTR Grille Horrible Fitment

so i ordered a pre painted UTR style grille for my coupe form www.everythingg35.com i got the grille in like 2 weeks and the fitment sucks *****, theres a gap from the hood the grille unlike the giallia grille and not to mention after like 4 days of driving all the clips for the mesh started to fall off and i had to superglue them on, anybody else have this grille? im at work right now so i cant post pics but i will as soon as i get some

the UTR grille is a poor replica of the Griffin grille from what i've heard.

here is mixturepinoy's (i believe his is a UTR replica):

I've seen mixtorepinoy's grill in person and it does fit poorly, but with some adjustment, the fit is okay

i had the same problem with the mesh staying on, but mine fit pretty well with no hood gap (until i got in an accident and smashed it into 10 pieces)

yeap' I had to make alot of adjustments to it, I had to redrill the holes and bend the middle brace to get rid of the gap, It's not difficult, a small price to pay for to be a little different
