OEM Grille, Bumper Reenforcement & Front Bumper Cover

[GetMeMyStogie]

I hope you picked up the waterfall badge from the wrecked grille. Some replacement grilles come without one.

Yes, I picked up as much of the debris I could. The badge was undamaged.

Aftermarket ones look fine, nobody will know but you.
Aftermarket will come in black primer, ready to paint.
OEM may be wrong color or scuffed up and needing paint.
Might even have holes from front license plate bracket.
Chances of paint sticking to primer is better than repaint.

I've used 2 aftermarket ones so far. Other than a missing hole in the bottom lip to mount the splash shield they fit pretty good and finish out fine. The rubber (plastic) is thinner and a lot harder than the OEM. I was hoping to find a nice one. Don't mind paying a little more for it either if it's good. As a last resort, I'll use the aftermarket one.

Part of the reason the covers may not fit is there is a difference between the MGM and Marauder bumper reenforcement. The MM one is 9" shorter to clear the fog light depressions. I noticed that when working on a MM. I'll do a seperate post to log it for future reference as all the interchange books and wrecking yards will say they interchange.
