They are alright. Typical aftermarket grill. It will fit but not perfect like OEM. You may notice if you're used to the OEM fit, but no one else will notice.

If you are really set on OEM, some people have taken an OEM Grand Marquis chrome grill which are easier to find, stripped the chrome and painted it black. But it is quite a bit of work.

I am looking for a perfect fit unfortunately no 2003 - 2005 Grand Marquis in my area If I have to settle for a after market
would like to find the best one made.
If someone had any good luck with one let me know the supplier. Thanks

I’ve bought a couple from certifit that fit quite well and seem a bit more flexible than OEM which to me is a plus all by itself to aid in less cracks from road debris. I used to pay like $55.00 for them but it’s been a few years…

As for “perfect OEM fit” that’s a laughable statement on a mass produced Mercury or anything else for that matter. But yes, it fits the opening no better or worse than OEM but I’ve learned to just snug the nuts as fully tightening will eventually cause slight waves.
