Hi Brian

While I concede that it might be a good thing, I can't recall ever seeing a 
stainless steel grill for a bugeye.  We were also counseled (in 1996) to be 
sure and keep the old grill if possible, since new ones generally didn't fit 
as well.  We did, so we don't have any real proof of the fit thing.  It did 
get replated and looks pretty good.   In general, we found that we were ahead 
financially to plate what we had rather than order new; however, most of the 
chrome was in fairly good shape and didn't have to be straightened or 
anything.  (There is even a piece or two that just got polished with dynamite 
cleaner.)
