Far as I know the main two variants are:

eBay cheapies that zip tie in place, some even in front of the factory grille (yuk).

Stull types that require removal of the factory grille and drilling four small holes in the fascia. The stull ones are very nice. There are so many on eBay I can't say what is good and what is garbage.

I was really nervous about this at first, but then I thought about it, and in any case the factory grille would cover those holes up. So worst case you go back to factory.

Looks like you've got a pretty fast car, so treat her right and don't cheap out on the grille.

Maybe someone can post some links to the good-quality ebay grilles.

I put a billet grill on my car and it didnt match up with the holes but the plastic is really soft so i just used some sharp screws and they went right through it.
