Has anyone bought and installed one of these billet grilles for the 72 Chevelle that Bob's Chevelle's has for sale on their website? If so can you post a picture please.

I purchased this for a '71 and am now in the process of mounting it. I am running into a bit of trouble with fitment. The sides do not extend as far out toward the headlight bezels and it creates quite a gap. Also, it does not extend toward the bumper the way the original does (the original had a lip to the grille that filled in the space between the bottom of the grille and the bumper). I called Bob's and they were no help. I am looking for someone that has mounted one successfully to see if they have pics. I am currently asking Bob's Chevelle to put me in contact with a previous customer so I may get pics. I will post them here if I get any.

Did it bolt right in, or did it require modifications to fit ?

It bolted right in. At first it concerned me because it started to look like there would be gaps, but after getting it all braced up, there wasn't any problems.
