I got an aftermarket one off of ebay and had it painted. Looks fine to me.

Is there a perfect fitment to any panel on these cars? LoL

I saw nothing better or worse than stock on both. I just wanted a badgeless.

My certifit grille was warped, I bought a eBay one and it fits great but it's more $

03merc here may have a new painted DTR grille, he texted me a pic of a few and they looked great but it was a few months back

This would be the time to go badgeless if you wanted

One option (to avoid the aftermarket) would be if your buying a new one and having it repainted is to buy an OEM Grand Marquis grill had have it painted. Should minimize the potential fitment issue.

For a minute I thought to go badgeless, but as some will agree, I love my badges!!!

I had heard the regular GMQ grills would not fit, that the Marauder had a unique grill...

Finding a shop to prep a GMQ grill properly is the difficult part

It'll be chrome and your paint guy will charge you extra to take the extra steps to paint chrome

Why not buy some used teeth and repair your grill?

Zack said he may have some, so hopefully he's checking, if he finds some that is what I will do, but I want a spare just in case...

I've had several GM Grilles painted and they came out just fine.

They do not resist rocks and road debris like a regular Marauder grill

I got a black one off Amazon for about $90. Less than 30 minutes to install.
