Default opinions on this 3 piece billet set?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

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

Default 3 pc grills

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
