Default can an es330 grill fit?

i have been looking at the 06 es330 grill and it looks like the jp grill and the shape looks really similar to our grill so i was wondering if anyone tried fitting this before. i tried searching for the measurements online but came up with nothing so if anyone has any idea about this please post up.

I'm sure you can cut the center out and mod it to fit a GS grill go ahead and give it a try

Cost a grip,
plus a custom one is just more badass!

This is what you do, hit up the ES forums tell one of the guys to take some measurements, then you take measurements of the GS grill, draw a sketch do some hw. If it looks like it works, try it!

Are you trying to find a grill w/ horozontal slates but not quite like the JP grill.More like the Ab Flug?
