Hi, marc!

I've already got a Coastal Metals grill (black) sitting in my room waiting.... there was a group buy about 2 months ago where it was $30 off, so I couldn't resist... The quality look good, obviously I haven't installed it yet.

For your Sebring, I'd suggest Black unless you plan on also getting the side intakes (for consistency). Otherwise, either color will look good, IMO.

Coastal Metals is the best I have found and easiest to install, about 15 minutes!! Plus i got it two days after I ordered it! Now that is service!!!

I agree. . .any color from Coastal Metals would look great. . .I chose the Stainless over the powdercoated black and like the look very much. Note that the sides will disappear once my new fog lights are installed!

on my '02. . .

I know others have made hinged brackets that work similarly, but mine will be different. In order to make it work, I'll have to cut out part of the stock grill behind the plate to give the plate clearance to rotate to horizontal. So . . .

Does the Coastal Metal grill replace the factory grill or go in front or in back of it?

tks
The Grill Mounts in front of the factory grill. Some of the license plate holders can be used with the grill, unless the holder will not let the grill sit flush against the opening to the front. It also depends on how thick the license plate holder is. If it is over a 1/4" thick it probably will not work with the grill.

I went with a $1.50 roll of chicken wire from Home Depot, and it looks just as good. To each his own.
