sounds like you got the ebay special. Happened to me a few years back when I got my first billet grill, it came with 4 nylon zip-ties. I took 1 look at it and threw it away and ordered the real Stull Billet Grille with 4 screw holes.

calm down bro. it does technicly fit 98-02 models... it never said it installed with existing hardware. thats what happens when you dont read the fine print and buy generic non-brand name products off of ebey. just be a little more careful next time.

Speed inc, but as far as I know they dont sell em anymore. You can check afterthoughtsauto.com though, I know they sell them but for a pretty steep price compared to what I paid.

from you ebay link "Most of our grilles (unless otherwise noted) install directly over your existing grille with nylon tie straps, with no modification to your vehicle. The nylon tie straps we use have a tensile strength of 50 pounds each. The grilles weigh 2 to 6 pounds each. The nylon tie straps won’t rust or break." So it looks if you do not have the black plasic grill on the car it will not work. You have to zip tie it to the stock grill..

should of got this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-03...QQcmdZViewItem
