    Looks almost identical to the Grillcraft (except for the badge cutout). Grillcraft requires cutting out the center portion of the stock grille and the center portion of the lower bumper grill as well.

    call me crazy, but I like the 2012/2013 stock grill.

    no disrespect to Mr. Homer's craftsmanship or others.
