I had this idea come and go but I think they will look a bit odd even tho they may slightly improve safety :/

Fourthly, you should take a look at the welding spots on the product. The welding spots are circular-arc shape and look smoother than the non-OEM one. If you purchased a non-OEM one, the welding spots volume is uneven and have solder icicles. This is the typical characteristics of hand welding.

This is what it says and will fit. The earlier chrome grille surrounds are fluted as pictured the later facelift surround is smooth chrome, either will fit but needs to match lower chrome surround on front bumper section. The later grille has 3 horizontal bars lke the S, the earlier grille shown in ebay ad above has 4 bars, again either will fit and it just depends what you prefer.
