I forgot to add...

I ordered the black grills off of ebay. They were good quality - however the factory driver's side grill had a notch cut out of it on the top for the hood opening lever. The aftermarket grills did not have this notch. I had to cut the notch in -- otherwise the hood release did not have adequate travel.

If you miss this step - you will be able to close the hood but not be able to open it unless you stick a tool throught the grill opening to manually release the hood... a PITA.

I learned the hard way. Once the notch was cut -- it works like it should.
