I received a 3 piece in this morning's mail from Mark Jaguar; 18520 Wyandotte St, Reseda, CA 91335 (818-342 0273). It was on eBaY $225 INCLUDING SHIPPING.
It appears to be heavy duty mesh with heavy chrome plating, good rubber surrounds and ample hardware to install. I'm thinking it would look best with the cross chrome oem bar removed and am currently trying to figure out how to remove it with a disaster.

Hey Brantman--I think the place you got your grill was actually Mina Gallery. The shop is a couple of miles from my house and I have watched them assemble these grills from parts and pieces--they are a quality operation.

Yes the chrome splinter has to be removed as well as a slight trimming of the bumper on the inside edge, each side to match the grill. You will also need the side plugs for the two grey plastic "bumper" , can't remember what they are called, to fill the holes where the chrome splinter was.

If you get the chrome splinter out in good shape let me know, I might be interested in taking it off your hands for an experimental project I've been thinking about.

Got my car back yesterday, late in the afternoon and she looks pretty good. My power steering isn't working but am taking it to a Jag guy in the morning. they still need to adjust the hood alignment a bit, but overall, everything considered, i'm satisfied and she runs & tracks perfectly!!!
