In short no. You are going to end up spending 5+ hours making a $50 grill fit nicely. Don't do it.

To correctly replace the grill requires removing the bumper. Most people cut out there old grill though.

Yeah, it is alot of work. But not nearly "5 hours". You will have to fill the holes that the stock grill is going to leave, and you will have to drill holes in your bumper to mount it. I bought my eBay grill as a temp fix for a grill. I plan on buying a charactere, but haven't found a good deal on one yet.

It's doable, but it's not easy. Be prepared to bend/shape your eBay grill. And align in. It's not easy to say the least. But I think mine came out ok.
