Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used grille

Check all clips and mounting tabs — grilles are brittle and tabs snap easily during removal.
Confirm the trim level matches. Many vehicles have different grille designs for base, sport, and premium trims.
Look for chrome peeling or pitting on chrome-finish grilles — these can't be economically re-plated.
If the grille integrates sensors (adaptive cruise, parking sensors), confirm those modules are included and functional.
