New grill?

My stull grill just arrived. I'm thinking it's the wrong one for my year truck. The reason is the new grill has a sort of bend in the middle insteed of laying flat. Is it supose to look that way? I guess i'll find out when i go to put it on.

OK got the new grill in but at the bottom theres about a 1/2" space from the grill to the truck. So the bottom would have the be bent down that far just to screw it to the truck. Looks good so far but couldnt finnish it due to the rain. So i left the bottom unscrewed for now.

Heres one more picture, a little closer up.

Are you sure the grille is not upside down?
I really can not remember if it can be installed upside down or not.
But heres how to make sure you have it the right way.
There should be some tabs welded inside the grille for turn signal lights, for trucks with the 4 headlight setup. Those little tabs for the signal lights should be on the bottom of the grille.

Yes I know I bought some locking lug nuts, and like a dumb@$$ they were too big. I didnt really think about it. I ended up selling them off to my friend real cheap. Havent done nothing 'bout all this time I need to fix it though.
