Default Grille insert, stainless or aluminum?

The stainless would cost me abouit $25 more than the aluminum, is it worth the extra price?

Aluminum
Stainless

where is it coming from? i ordered a stainless one but it didnt fit right. the outward bend wasnt enough and looked like crap. luckily the place i got it from had awesome customer service and sent me a new billet grille for free and told me to keep the stainless one. im pretty sure the brand of the grille was stull. im sure they fixed the problem by now...

I have a stull and mine fits fine. I think mine is just the billet though, not the stainless

if you look, the aluminum grill requires cutting of the factory grill while the stainless just bolts over. I would get the grill that requires cutting because it looks better.I really do not think the other one is stainless, probably both aluminum.

Good call...I didn't notice that. I don't want a bolt-over. I'm gonna go ahead and order the alunimum one. Thanks!
