Grills off of Ebay

I was looking at the grills that are on ebay and was wondering if anyone has bought them? They are priced pretty cheap and I was wondering how the quality was and how they are mounted?

This is one of them that I was looking at.

I have one. No issues what so ever. You'll be able to see through it and see the original black grille. The main grille just bolts right over the existing one. pretty straight forward. I had to clip the ends of the screws that came with it though cuz they were too long. The bumper pieces, you'll need to drill holes for the screws to hold them in place. No big deal. I ended up buying some bolts with wing nuts for the bumper pieces. Made it much easier to tighten them. It's a tight fit down there.

Here's a pic of mine. Painted it black though.

Here's a pic of mine before painting it. Guess the chrome kindda hides the grille behind. I can definitely see it much better now that my grille is black. I guess it's a matter of opinion. For the price though, not bad.

The prices are unbeatable on ebay, my only concern is that a cheaper product wont last long in the winters up here. I'm having rail dust issues on the paint, the wheel wells, both bumpers and on the lugs and in the lug holes.

Anyone purchased one from Billet Grilles, Billet Grille Inserts, Roll Pan Kits & Accessories at American Billet Company They're about 151 for the upper grille and 92 for the 3 lower pieces.

lol thanks? lol

nah i ended up writing several emails to the presidente or "acting" super and told them my problem and the words law suite came into play and they said it seems like transite damage and that they would take up a claim with ups. i said bull chit give me my money back it's not transite, the packaging is perfect the grille if defective from you (the shipper) and to just refund my money a simple replacement would not suffice. they ended up giving me my money back and i still have not sent the grille back nor have they asked for it or charged my card. i say f'em. if they come back to get me ill tell them there was a problem shipping it with ups and to take it up with them!

thats how i roll.
