newport996 is infamous around these parts

I got all my hardware with my bumper for $500 total, but i was told that grills could be $300+ by themselves....

If you have the holes there then you just need some rivet screws, the best thing about those things are they are snapped in without tools.... I carry extras in my car "just incase"

Keep your eye open...they are often for sale, sometimes as low as $300 complete....check the FS section, or post a WTB ad....then watch ebay....

Post a message "WTB TT front grills" in the for sale section. I did that and had a bunch of offers very quickly. I think I spent $100 for all three.

Good luck.
