I remember this too..about ford. not just tempo, it goes back a long time.

I learned not to mess with oem grilles on any machine, unless repairing to make stronger, or finding out is indeed an error, or just making a grille any ole way they felt like. (old subaru)..

My own car has a cross between a realtime carb (normal) but mine is with stepped up ignition coil, and an oe turbo edition is too much....I spotted the two models to determine my own. I had to make my own grille, out of an oem one.

it may be something to ponder if the same machine came with a six and a four cyl edition...and both models used same grille...they just did not care all that often. Ford is the first I heard of the 1 piece cheap appearance having a serious function.

my own car was flunking with oem.
