Reply to "Front Grille Wanted"

As a Pre-L your car most likely had the version mounted with studs. This means the grill frame had brazed-on threaded studs that poked through mounting holes in the body cavity opening's edge, and received washers and nuts to hold the grill in place. Check your car and see if the holes in this area are drilled, or show evidence of sheet metal screws.

This was replaced with a grill that had not studs, but holes in its perimeter. The grill was held in place with sheet metal screws placed through those holes and screwed into the body cavity's frame.

They were the same size, and I think used the same wire mesh. They are more or less interchangeable, I think.

Don't hold me to that, though. If the later grill's mounting holes happen to line up with the earlier version body holes, you would have a problem screwing them into place (No metal for the screws).
