    Really dumb question but do a lot of people not have their title to find their VIN?

    The OEM grill contains minute parts of real gold in its plastic, thats why it costs more. The parts guy at my dealership confirmed this. The gold particles are very tiny and not visible to the naked eye.

    I paid $200 for an OEM pro grill. No headaches with the letters, having to glue them on, tape or screw them on. No issues with all the parts not being there, dealing with online return and all the bullshit everyone deals with. For a few more bucks it is best to buy OEM. If you have issues simply take it back.

    Apparently the gold in the Pro grilles rusts, too. There’s a TSB.

    The dealership cannot duplicate the problem.
