Default Which Center-Light Grille? S/S? 3DCarbon?

Getting ready to drop the $ on a center-mounted grille. Since I'm not changing the lower grille, I am looking forone that matches the original design the best. Also want it to fit well, of course. I remember there being some issue with fitment on some of them.

While we're at it, where did you get yours? Happy with price and delivery?

Thanks!

SS makes the best V6 Eleanor grill. The honeycombs look
OEM with the lower grill.

+1, that's where I got mine, great price, and amazing packaging. it is the 2nd generation, so there shouldn't be an issue with the bottom warping and the harnesses look great, no splicing at all.

I got the 3d carbon one. I also had the SS one and didnt like it at all. To me the 3d one was way better quality and looked better. Got mine from Haney. https://www.shop.hms-store.com/displ...?productId=245

I did notice a difference in the Blueoval one though, the factory grill has a textured finish, and the blueoval one is smooth. Both have the honeycomb pattern, and honestly, I like the smooth finish better, it won't collect wax and bug guts as easy.
