Gappy?? The star with the sport grill will look horrible. Are you sure you installed it correctly, mine has no gaps and looks fine.

i just put my plastic flat badge on this weekend but there was a slight front and rear gap plus i thought it looked kinda big not fitting in the whole. so when i get a new grill i wont have redundant stars and my badge is flush and metal. just my preference!

its actually the one that came with the car. open hood twist bottom side 1/4 turn, remove. get a dremel and cut the spring at the bottom of unit, star falls off. grind out rubber bowl that the star itself used to bottom out and swivel on. go to lowes/home depot buy a 1/2" chrome cap. the kind that has tangs on them that can be bent out. snap it in place. replace.

Rave55,
Here's a stupid question.....Does the grille that you have installed in your car fit a 2002 E model? If so, where did you purchase it? Thanks.
