To Those With Stock Grills...
I have a painted stock grill on my 04 and just noticed something interesting. The stock grill is mounted by several "tabs" on the bottom to secure it in place. I just noticed my grill was loose so I checked to see what's up and all my "tabs" ripped through the little loops that hold them in place. I have a feeling this is quite common with stock grills, so if you have a stock grill, could you check to see if yours is loose as well? I have approximately 15K miles on mine and noticed this just recently.

funny you bring this up Edify. I just saw dealer today since i felt some play in my 2nd grille (also had TSB for G box and ordered chrome strips). They told me it's installed fine and needs a lil play.
Good idea to "keep tabs" on it though. If they're breaking, that's no good. It has to last until I can afford my Redline kit and possibly Active grille.

It's definitely worth a shot, but as NismoMax80 said: they might try and not honor your warranty on that part because it was painted.
The problem is that they "might" try to blame it on YOU even if it's not your fault because most people remove the stock grill when trying to paint it...
