Exclamation stack racing grill housing?

Is it possible to cut the stock grill for the stack racing grill to fit over it. I would like it to look like this i just would like to see if i can customize it using the stock grill or do i have to buy it this part all together in order for it.

Did you already buy the grille?
If you haven't I would reconsider getting it, my Stack Racing grille is already starting to fade badly after about six months. And this car is babied.

Don't buy it, Sky.
In a minute (if I can get my phone to work) I'll show you the paint fade on the grille.
When I first got it I loved it and the quality seemed great, but now after less than a year it looks terrible. I'm really disappointed in the quality.

Ohh really?? Well thanks for the heads up, I'm looking forward to that pic. What do you recommend? The Bullit Grille is out of budget for me as its over 300 just for the grille.

Maybe its a hit or miss thing.
I'll post pics today when I get my phone to work.
I'll try waxing it too to see if any of the color will come back.

Have you tried using Meguier's Back to Black? It works like magic
