I have the stock RS 2.0 xB grill for sale, but the powdercoat is a bit chipped and it looks like you want a 3 piece grill anyways.

Given those choices, I'd go with the E&B Classics...I've never seen those, no one else has them.

and it is sitting in my garage collecting dust. It was painted GM Silver to match my 2-tone. 1 Clip is broken but it is still functional. You are welcome to it as I will not be using it any longer.

I'm going to chime in here....
Why stick with something bolt on/drop-in?
For the price you pay for a 3 piece grill you could have something totally custom and wild machined for you. Come up with a killer design and you are ready to hit a local machine shop. Here's my suggestion:
Home depot: X-acto knife, 1" thick styrofoam (get a huge sheet of it in case you fuck it up)
Step 1: Pull off all 3 of your grills
Step 2: Trace the grill's basic shape and oversize it a bit as you will be shaving/trimming to make the mold perfectly plum
Step 3: Slow tedious process of getting the precise fitting for the styrofoam in the bumper. Make sure to leave an 1/8th of an inch or 1/16th min all the way around
Step 4: Once you clean up the pieces an make them nice and even, trace the shapes on paper
Step 5: Draw a design of your liking into the grill template (This can be elaborate/etc) Flowjet/CNC will take care of the math/angles
Step 6: Take it to a local machine shop and have it done in aluminum, in 1/4 or 1/8" aluminium for strengths
Step 7: Test fit it on your car (tape up the inside of the bumper with painters tape to avoid scratching
Step 8: Tack weld the proper tabs (which you can make out of metal using hingles/corner braces/etc) after having marked their locations
Step 9: Final test fit (make adjustments to tabs if needed)
Step 10: Revel in the fact that you have something that NO ONE ELSE in the world has...
You'll probably spend 150-200 doing it... but if you want something incredible, then go for it.
Hint.. anodized/polished aluminium is HOT

The grills I have now are exactly what I wanted...I just had to wait for a company to make them cause I was too lazy to have them made.
