2 grilles going out today
1 johns & 1 neils
I packed the heck out of them. these are the first i've shipped UPS (others were drop shipped). If they destroy these I quit and will go to pick ups only.
John and Neil let me know how these go.

I just got off the phone with 5.0retso and they are not sending any grills out (got them today ,200 or so) !!! The manufacture called them and let them know that all the grills are warped and that they had the bad batch Looks like it is a true problem. He currently did not have a answer on shipping time of the correct part.
The positive, they caught the problem and are trying to get new grills to fix it !!
The negative, more waiting
Just thought I'd pass that along.
Thanks Mike

Was it warped like this before the install....are the bottom clips snaped in all the way?? Is it possible the clips on the bottom are not in all the way (or dont snap down all the way) and its pusing the bottom part up? Keep in mind I have not taken off my grill before so I dont know the location of the clips.

Has anyone figured out a way to get the factory wires to reach? Like I mentioned, my coworker rigged something that involved alot of tape, but I wanted to figure out a way to just get the wires to reach, and I can plug them in. Has anyone taken the wires out of the casing that holds it to the body of the car? If you could let me know, I would appreciate it.

Well, I'm looking at it different. These were cheap enough, so I'm not going to sweat it much. I'll put this one on and see how it looks. If it looks too wonky, I'll wait for the new Street Scene one that I know isn't manufactured elsewhere and see how that one stacks up to the one I'm getting now.

Ya, I got the same call from 50resto. Kinda had a feeling that would happen. Oh well, I have a grille on the way and it should be here tomorrow. Hopefully I can figure out a way to get rid of some of the warp. If not, back to the drawing board...or should I say...stock grille

My grill looks to be pretty good quality with a slight warpage at the bottom, even though the box and UPS appear to have done significant battle. I am also going to try to bring it back into shape with a heat gun (or steam) and some oak blocks with bull nose edging first thing in the morning. I think some soft wood wedges can be inserted between the lower lip and the light sockets, which should help straighten out that part of the lip. I have a very well equipped shop, so I'll post how things went, for anyone who might want to wait and see before trying it.

I spliced some new wiring into mine to make them work and look better. Used some Solder to connect the wires, then took shrink-tubing over the soldered joint to "weather-proof" it - then added electrical tape wrap to boot. Once that was done, I put the wiring in similar protective sleeves to what was on there originally. Kinda looks OEM, but not.
