I'd like to change my 2012 V6 grille for a chrome billet grille. I found this one http://www.blueovalindustries.com/bo...12/xt3835.html but don't know if its a good deal or not/there's no lower grille. Also should I just overlay or is it better to swap the whole thing? Thanks

 

Seems like a decent deal to me, and I'm pretty sure its a replacement grille.

 

I have the same one you posted the link to except in black. The replacement is worth the money as I have had both and the overlay sucked. That grille is basically what came in the california specials 2010 and 2011. In 2012 they offered the black grille which I now have. Here are some picturees below why the replacement is better. I paid 400$ for my grille.

thanks for the info. did you install the grille yourself or have someone else do it? Also do you know where I could find a matching chrome lower grille? thanks

 

replacement looks way better! go for it!

 

Check out partscheap.com. They have the same one at a lower price, although I'm not sure what the final price would be because they charge tax in certain states and you have to pay the shipping. It's worth checking though.

 

I installed the grille myself, it is really straight forward just remove the radiator cover and pop the grille out. I have my matching lower black grille which I kept when I sold the upper overlay grille. You can use the overlay one for the bottom if you want.

 

Your grilles are black though, so yours go great together. Since he wants the chrome grille, the polished one may go good along with the chrome grille, but you may be able to tell the difference. This is something I'd like to see since I'm gonna do that one day, since the replacement grille looks way better than the overlay.
