Not to sure how the CW lower grill installs, but the Precision lower grill takes only minutes to install and there is no drilling required. I've had mine on over a year and it still looks great!

Well, I can tell you that I have had one for a couple of months with no problems (see pic in my gallery if interested). Installation was a breeze- minor drilling. Maybe 30 minutes max installation time. Quality is great, no signs of chipping at this point.
Not sure about best price but our supporting vendors are your best bet- that's where I got mine. Keeps this great site up and you're not going to save more then $5 -$10 by rooting around for the best price.

BTW, paireno-
would love to see more pics of your ride, especially that partially painted grill. Thinking of something similar for mine.

This is the only one I have. If you need more detail I will try to get a nearer look.

Thanks, Paireno, that's a great shot. Been thinking about painting the "2nd" and "4th" bars instead of cutting them out but couldn't find a pic of a partially painted grill to help me visualize it.

Welcome to the site!

I can suggest you using a photo editor and paint it like you want, or simply print one of your pix, photocopy it and then draw the grille as you wish.

That's the way I used before painting.

Another way will be using electrical tape (the color you wants) and tape the bars.

I tell you the material of the OEM grille is quite hard and difficult to paint. Good luck.
