Default Autotechnica chrome grill overlay

Buyer beware! After seeing the Autotechnica grill overlay on some of our club members' cars, I KNEW I wanted that grill on my '03 DreamCruiser. But, like all other mods for the GT/DreamCruiser, heard it wouldn't fit as the bottom configuration wasn't configured to the GT grill. [xx(] Luck would have it that somebody said (I repeat "said") they took the grill and put it on a GT and it DID fit. Whooo hoooo, I'm jazzed! On the phone immediately and ordered my grill...it arrives the day before Cruiserfest. Well, let's see:
1. The clips are so cheap they popped off like a soda can top! Ok, can work around that...drilled the dang thing right into the stock grill. Now I KNOW it won't go anywhere. Rumor has it they will soon be manufacturing the grill with stronger clips.
2. Bottom portion does NOT fit. Configuration is an ok match, but the GT grill is about 1/4 inch thicker from front to back than the overlay. No way on God's green earth it will fit unless you crack the stock grill. No thanks. But, thanks to a whole lotta 3M tape, it's on and not going anywhere.

The look is really nice on the DreamCruiser and I'm still happy I bought the grill. Just thought I'd pass it along (from experience) that it's not a simple snap-on procedure.
