My grill is a Moss Grill, but it is not chrome like yours would be. The fit
is good though and I believe that they have the exact same mounting points
and such. I would guess that since the fit on the spuarebodys is not
difficult to match as the bugeye's, probably the grill will fit OK. Now the
question about chrome lasting more than a year on is a whole 'nother story.
