That looks 100% better. Before, you had way too much bling up front. makes it look a lot tighter, cleaner, and more simple. What kind and where did you get it? Can you get it without the star on it?

That is correct.......new Grill. 
I visited a vendor today in which I purchase my parts and he had a prototype/sample new grill that he gave me to test. It's the "CL Style" grill. The prototype didn't come with the clips for the screws (had to get some at the hardware store) and the backing of the star needed to be glued back on but I wasn't complaining as I got it for free. He said his supplier should have these grills available soon. It's a direct bolt on and no welding or modifications is needed. Fit and finish seems good...but again...I have the prototype so the production piece might be even better.
Because he's not a supporting vendor...I'm not sure if I can post his name so if anyone is interested...email me and I will provide more info. BTW....I am in no way associated with this vendor....just passing the info to my fellow E-sters!

Forgot to mention....I also advised him that many here are looking for the clear sidemarkers to replace the stock ambers. No guarantees but he's going to ask his supplier if they can make them. Any news on them I'll let everyone know.

Come to think of it...it does. 
Only difference is the Expression grill, the lip goes over the hood and I heard welding is also needed. This one is direct bolt on.

Looks good!
It might be a better alternative to the Lorinser version.
Not having the chrome surround gives it an agressive look....and with the louvers spaced further apart, I might have room to mount laser jammer modules without any cutting.
