Not a real one, but definitely looks like someone took the time to get it close. The backside looks rough, I wonder if that's a foam material or if it's just cut weird.

I bought one from him last time. Looks to be machine made of some durable plastic, painted mine too.

Theyre decent quality. Hard flexible plastic.

I recently got one of these...

Does anybody have any tips on how I could sand the outer portion of this grille so it's smooth like the original or close to it? Mine has a big 'bubble' in the middle on the bottom from the printing process and I feel like the rough texture of the print would look horrible against the paint.

A coarse sanding block could help with that; make sure to prime it and also wet sand it with a very fine sanding paper up to like 1000 or 1500 grit

Aren't these the ones being sold by a member on this site? I think it's the guy with the $200 Monte (and his his screen name also reflects that statement, like 200hundredmonte or something like that).

That is wonderful to see a aftermarket one show up, finally someone made one on a budget too. Anybody I messed with ended up being a fortune. Heck his price is right in the ball park. One may have to grap a couple at that price and tuck them away. If he doies not move very many, then production may stop and they will once again be impossible to find. Like the headlights with a clear lense in lieu of the factory amber lense. they were here for ayear, then gone for 5, came back for a few months and now gone again. These grilles look very close to the originals. I have 2 new in the box and am not giving them away, but then not many owners even care at this price point for these. Awesome someone even did this...
