Here's a pic of my car with the JMS grill. The fit and finish is great and it took no time to install.

I've never really been crazy about the aftermarket grilles for the Max, but I like yours. Maybe because it's on a black Max. Good work.

BTW are you a Marine with the Hoorah?

This grill looks so much better than GrillTech grill. Looks like a quality product...

1BADMAX, through this grill can you see the internals like your horn, radiator etc? Trhough my grilltech grill, you can see the internals from an angle...

We have to put down at least 10 characters to do a reply or post so if you have nothing else to say you just put numbers after what you said and that'll give you 10 characters.

I don't know how good it is. Who knows if he makes it or he gets it from somebody else.

No, for the top you take (3) 10mm bolts off and pull at the bottom. For the bottom grill it just fits over the stock grill. Then you just zip tie it on and your done. I think it may have taken me 30 mins total time.

Actually I've got no idea on this one. I know that Studman is the one that hooked me up with these guys and he and everybody else said that it would not rust like the one from Grille tech. I say just give them a call ansk them will it survive the harsh winters. Hope this helps.

No, not in any of the northern states. I don't know exactly when Studman got his JMS grille put on, although he's Florida which the winters are not very cold. Sorry I couldn't help.
