The funny thing is, I bet nobody ever notices problems with my grille, but I certainly notice haha
I know the feeling...

I'v got the GT grille for my 05 in the garage and its not warped. I took the fog lights out and the pony off, so you would need to transfer yours to this grille. If you want it you can have it for the cost of shipping. Give me your address and I'll ship it to you and you can mail back the shipping cost. Let me know.

I was just about to say that someone surely has a stock grille they'd sell cheap.

Before I bought my house I didn't have room to store stuff like that, and ended up throwing away my stock grille, spoiler and even stock mirrors. It almost makes me sick to think about it now, I wish I had all that crap back. It's hard to sell (And not cheap to ship) though.

What's the condition of the grille? Any dents, scratches, or tabs missing? If not, I might take you up on that offer. Thanks!!

You're crazy if you don't. It's not warped, it'll be a huge improvement over what you have. Even if it was scratched, faded, etc., it'd be super easy to paint it black and throw on the car.

I have one sitting in the garage also. Has the fog lamps (with yellow HID bulbs) and a blacked out pony, if anyone is in the market....

If you paid with PayPal you should be able to dispute the charge through PayPal since they fudged the truth about the product's condition. This will get your money back because in the payment world the merchant is guilty until proven innocent.
If they say you have to return it you can ask that they pay the return shipping because the sale was fraudulent.

Good Luck bro
