    Check around on ebay, I've always found them there. (Went with the OEM honeycomb grill tho) Some have had a grille sent without the letters, be best to ask the seller if the letters are included just to be sure.

    I received the one pictured on the website and in the OP. I'm not going to keep it though. Once I got it on the truck I could tell that it will break the mounting tabs on the headlights after a while, at least for my truck. I would have to flex the grill back towards the mounting tab about an inch to get the holes to line up. With that much pressure on the tabs they will break, the mounting holes on the stock grill line up without having to flex anything. As mentioned, in order to get the grill to sit down flush I had to remove the bottom two clips at the base of the headlights and then gently flex the grill out so that it would slip over the bumper lip. Oh well, I like the aesthetic but it just won't work for me.

    How do you like it? And also do you recall what the model number is or where I could get one?

    I had the first style pro grille but never really liked how the center bar sat.

    I ordered the newer style grille and received it today. I really like how the newer style looks, but it feels much, much more cheap and flimsy than the first grille. Just something to consider for those interested in these grilles.

    Got my grill in from @HomerTaco and it looks fantastic. I'm ready to mount it up but need to get my truck cleaned up and swap the scooped hood to my recently acquired non-scooped. I don't have a pic yet as I have safely tucked away in my closet until I'm ready - so posting the screen shot of his post.

    All the normal cool stuff!!!
    I like the Grill...The only complainant is like others have stated is the weather stripping. It should have been attached from the get go! I tried two different adhesives and had no luck...I just installed a hood bug guard and it coves up the gap.

    It came with the smaller center bar.

    I took photos of the two for a side-by-side comparison.

    Edit: Yes, the listing on alibaba has photos of both types, but you’d be buying the smaller bar type thru the link I posted. Guess they don’t yet have photos of this new design on a truck.

    This worked the best for me when I had this grill one end would keep popping out of the gap though, if you can find one with round tube instead of the z shape. This actually stayed on unlike trying to glue the provided stuff on
