Search the forum carefully and you will find a discussion of the Paramount grille that some one installed. The grille is poorly finished and required additional grinding/filing/trimming to make its appearance even acceptable. Utilizing the fully finished OEM Project 7 grille and surround is less expensive and far preferable from a quality standpoint if you can source the parts:

Thanks Unhingd, looks like i'll wait to do the change, my grille surround is already gloss black so would be just using the grille, but seems the grille is badly made to according to the posts, thanks for the advice

The surround on your car is molded around the bumper, and is not suited to be used with the Project 7 grille. You will need both the surround and grille that is used on the Project 7. The surround only comes in grey or white, so you would have to paint or wrap the P7 surround for the right color.
