Im looking for a new grill. I know most people favor the vrd but i dont want to pay the $200 for it especially since I only want an upper grille. So if anyone knows anything about the grille in the link above, any info would be great, thanks

that looks like the ones they have on ebay.
a member bought one and found that the ebay one didnt fit and he had to cut his bumper with a dremel to make it fit.

yes, I will admit that made me laugh.
And about the JDM thing, I know there are not any real JDM parts for the tC, people call everything JDM nowadays because they're dumba$$we. I honestly wouldn't be too dumbfounded if I found some one selling a JDM cold air intake for a Dodge charger.
I thought there was a chance the grille might be alright despite the flaws in the description, but it looks like I'm gonna have to scrape up some extra $$$ and get the vrd.

As much as I hate to see so many "JDM" parts on eBay, the retailers who label those parts are not the dumbasses. eBay sellers try to incorporate keywords which will get their products seen. The dumbasses are the people who actually search for "JDM" or "Euro" parts for their Dodge Neons or Chevy Cavaliers. And when a dumbass buys "JDM" taillights for a Neon, more retailers start marketing JDM parts because these are the keywords that buyers are looking for. So yes, eBay is full of so-called JDM parts for American cars, because stoopid ricer kids actually believe they can make their Dodges and Chevys look JDM.

I'm one of those members and I wrote a big write up thread about it. Search my name and ebay grille, and you'll find it. And that IS the eBay grille, except the only difference is that you can get it for less from eBay.
The VRD is definitely the superior product, I doubt anyone will argue against that. The question is whether or not you want to pay that much extra for the VRD, or can settle for the lackluster results of the cheap grille. The cheapo grille isn't too noticeable in person. But if you plan on winning any car shows, you won't if they notice the grille. Then again winning car shows is for wealthy people who don't know how to properly invest money, or people who have no idea what the word "debt" means.
I got one off ebay for a friend, it fit her 2007 tC perfect. upper and lower. (the ebay vrd one) like 150$
