    I'm going to eventually do a front end swap on my 99, and go back to the 95.5-97 front end. If I can get my hands on OEM parts I'd obviously prefer that but there's not a high probability of that in my area. So I've been browsing the aftermarket options...wondering if anyone has a particular brand they've had a good experience with for the Grill...

    Thanks

    I've been considering a new grill for my 2000 and wondering the same thing. Amazon reviews are pretty good for the 98-00 grills.

    Yeah, I'm a little wary of some Amazon reviews. Hoping to get some hands on feedback from anyone on here.

    My wife rolls her eyes whenever I go on an Amazon review rant. I hate reviews that are either "it sucked" or "works great" without any qualifying statements. Chances are they're both created by bots, so I usually stay away from stuff with less than 30 or so reviews.

    The only reviews I count are the ones that seem legit and unbiased. Sometimes it certainly takes some looking to find them.

    If you guys aren't using FakeSpot app to weed out bad reviews from good ones I highly suggest it. Lots of phony reviews and products out there on Amazon these days.
