All this talk of grille bars makes me want to bring up an important point for
anyone
searching for one. Original grille bars for the '4 mount in between the
over-riders,
which on a '4 are taller and closer together than on a '4A. The '4A bar curves
downward and actually bolts up to the front valence below the bumper. If
anyone is
interested in getting one, be sure not to get the wrong one for your car,
because they
won't be interchangeable.
Cheers!
