Bottom line, it's your car and you like mesh. And, per your candor, it's still not fitting properly, which underscores the arguments of those fans of the OE look.

Do not buy this grille and expect it to look like this without some serious effort...
and most recently...

I hate having a somewhat rare "special" car that looks just like the cheap cars Chrysler produced.....therefore the first mod I purchased was the smooth vented hood and once it is installed I plan to take a close look at the grille........black, chrome, billet, mesh???????

In terms of car mods, I usually tend to lean towards keeping things more or less stock, and the Crossfire is no exception. I really like the factory grill (in spite of the cheap paint and seal Chrysler used on it which is now peeling at only 35K). Changing the grill doesn't really do anything for me. The only thing I think would be cool was if the rest of the car was blacked out, and the grill was black mesh, that could look pretty badazz.

I painted my stock grill and emblem with plastidip and am very please with the results as they are temporary and can be returned to stock whenever.

I didn't like the all black look on a Silver car so I peeled off the horizontal part of the grill to expose the silver.

Back to the OP.
I can think of a couple things that I really enjoy seeing "fish net" on , but a grille isn't one of them.
I like the look of a mesh grill, (not crazy about its boarder) but the transparency factor is just too much for me.
That being said, I'm glad we have options, and I always encourage any car enthusiast to "make it your own". Because until it looks just the way you want it to look, it pretty much looks like everybody elses. (But with the Crossfire, that isn't neccessarily a bad thing either).
Now this I could live with.https://www.crossfireforum.org/galle...hp/photo/25984
But I'd paint the boarder gloss black to match the car.
