This is what i did today for my stock 2017 grill. It’s better and more functional than the 2020 grill.

He may have gone full DIY for it. It also looks like he added a mesh to the back of it as well; this portion would have to be done DIY regardless of whether you do the initial cut DIY or not.I thought he did the cutouts himself due to the masking tape.
When you say "more functional than the 2020", do you have any data showing that? Do you track your car and compare before and after coolant temps or anything?This is what i did today for my stock 2017 grill. It’s better and more functional than the 2020 grill.
tape, trace the cutout you want and some kind of a dremel/rotary tool plus very steady hands and some sand paper to finish up the rough edges. Then add mesh with a tab of plasti weld or some adhesive as necessary.Do you have a walkthrough for this mod? I love it
You had the grille gap on the stock pre-'20 grille? I know it's a common issue on one of the two popular eBay grilles.it's here.
the opening is decently bigger than the 17-19.
on a side note, the upper tabs are not as flimsy since it is closed off on the top part and i don't have the infamous grille gap anymore lol so thats a win lol.
It's the same part number, they posted a screenshot and circled it then followed up re-confirming again it's in fact THE SAME PART NUMBER.Look at what that person said the front bumper is the same part number and its not so you want me to take that info with out questioning it? Have you did any research on the part numbers before commenting?
I had the common grille falling off problem cause the design is just really shitty. Wasn't as bad as the people in that thread but it was still there.You had the grille gap on the stock pre-'20 grille? I know it's a common issue on one of the two popular eBay grilles.
I think I'll eventually order this to replace my 2019 grill, I like the small change it gives to the front of the car without looking like I took a saw to the car.it's here.

i agree. thats why i bought it instead of creating my own cuts like the evasive grille. It was a great idea and free if you had steady hands but it looked like an after thought and not OEM. Also if i put a mesh on the added cuts, the different "diamonds" or mesh patterns triggers my OCD lol. That's why i couldn't go for these ebay grilles too.I think I'll eventually order this to replace my 2019 grill, I like the small change it gives to the front of the car without looking like I took a saw to the car.
You’re right. There was things that made me suspect that bumper might be different because others posted that the new fake vents dont fit directly to the ctr. But after digging in deeper i guess he had order vents from a sport hatch and not from a ctr.It's the same part number, they posted a screenshot and circled it then followed up re-confirming again it's in fact THE SAME PART NUMBER.
You failed to read the original post because, again claimed the part number is different.
