anyone know if this is a "cheap" grille or not...I like the way it looks and I do want all 3 pieces like it says it is. Im gettin a Thunder Cloud Metallic xB soon and lookin for good deals on full 3 piece billet kits.

This one looks killer, I think =)

I liked those too for the $, but I don't like the idea of using zip ties. But, it is about a third of the cost of other three piece grills. Of couse, I've also read where others have to force and bend replacement grills that bold in. So, if you like them and don't mind the zip ties, I say go for it. You could always use the other $$ to get something else for your box.

B-Cool Billets are the way to go, Yes Expensive, but worth it.

that ebay grille is total crap. I bought one just to get a good look at it. not only was it a waste of $110, I didn't get feedback from the f*ckstick that sold it to me.

Don't waste your money or time.

Get either the B-Cool or the T-Rex (TRex looks like the one on Lava's)

I have one off ebay from Deland Toyota in FL...its a very nice grille with a solid top piece unlike most billet grilles...i will try and post picks as soon as i can...the grille comes polished for that flashy chrome look but i painted mine black to go with the theme of my car...fits great on my ride...paid a total $265.00 with shipping...i would recommend it if you could find it on ebay

here are the pics from my mr grille install.........they were no different than the many other billet grills i have installed in the past, although the middle one doesn't quite line up, after some adjusting of the ties i got it better, but over all for the price you can't beat it, in the one pic you can see where i drilled two holes in each end of the core support to attach the ends any questions drop me an e-mail

yeah, this kit is exactly like the one i customized to fit my civic, i like the look of this one, thin bars close together , plus you can polish them relatively easy before you put them on, fin grits of sand paper and various polishes and a wheel, hope i was able to help you out..

I got the bottom parts of this kit for christmas.

We took the two lower grills out, mounted the lower one (with black zipties) to the mount points for the lower stock grill.

The middle one was mounted, on some quick fabbed mounts, behind the bumper.

IMO, it looks really good. Took a couple hours to do the install, but we did not have to remove the bumper and most of the time was spent figuring out how to mount the middle grill.

Not the greatest kit, not the easiest to use, but looks pretty good when done. :)

i left mine brushed, i perfer the burshed look also, but it would be very easy to polish before install if someone wanted to.....
3 days later the kit fits great, the price was right, and it was fun to install

Oh and to find the lighted one click on what's new and then lighted and an xb photo with the grill will come up. If you go to grilles and click on scion then XB a photo of the regular one will come up.

The main grill is the RS1 grill, came stock on my xB.

The lower two are the eBay grills. Same as the 3-part set, but only the bottom parts. :)
