    Almost exactly the same as the US grill. Look on eBay for them, they usually have a bunch, even try to check the completed items.

      See how the top part of the grill above the headlights is one solid piece? On the US grills, the top part of the grill is "broken" for about an inch above each headlight. Euro grill are also blocked off behind the slats a little bit more to direct more air into the radiator and inake areas. They also have a provision for the euro-spec headlight wipers.

      Not a dumb question at all.

          Ehhh, i think it BLOCKS more air than it does direct air. I'll stick with the eyelids and open-backed grilles.

          However, even Ove from BEN said that my eyelids look more like euro grilles than the normal eyelids.... maybe mine are small than normal ones, whatever those are...

            On just one more note, the top of the grilles also have cut-outs to access the city light bulbs. You can see them on the pic of Jordan's car.

              Didn't know they had the city light cutouts, that's very cool.
