    Yeah, I was thinking ML/GL when I saw it. The curve in the grill slots doesn't match up with the body lines at all I don't think.

    9 screws? Is this right? I remember that you have to take off the trim just below your headlight. My car is a 96 by the way. to take off the trim you take out the corner lights and there are 2 screws there. and by the grill there's another screw. then the trim should come out. on the side of the headlights you should see 2 screws. and one more by the grill. it's kind of hard to see because it's like behind the fan guard thing. Good luck with that.
