Over time the sun and heat will cause the glue to peel. It's not even real chrome, its that faux plastic chrome looking stuff that fades after a while. Spend the extra cash and pick up something that will last you forever.

Well if you're going to buy the cheap stuff don't buy it on Ebay, just get it from your local auto parts store. The guys selling this stuff are buying it from the same place and hiking up the price to rip people off. But I strongly suggest you just wait until you can pick up a real grill insert. In the mean time you could try painting your current grill black to give it a different look. I did it because I was tired of the faded gray plastic color then I decided to purchase a grill insert.

Well, to his his own. I would have at least painted the grill first before installing the faux chrome. Some primer for the paint to stick on and a couple coats of cheapo flat black paint can make a world of a difference.
