i was browsing ebay today and I found these grills for around 100 bucks, and they look pretty good, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks

yea thats what i was thinking, but still...I was wondering if anyone out there had some of these installed. I was looking, and they're held on by zip-ties, and i haven't figured out if thats a good or a bad thing. I mean, zip ties are pretty friggin' hard to break right?? haha they also completely replace the stock grills which is what i was looking for, i didn't want something to just cover the old grills up

If they completely replace the stock top grille, you are letting air flow into where it was not originally designed to go (the stock grille is solid, letting no air through) lessening the air flowing through the other two grilles and the stuff behind them (condensor, radiator) You can imagine what happens from that, although I have not seen anyone post any tangible negatives, other than a dirtier engine compartment.

The zip-tied grilles I have seen generally do not fit well and zip-tying anything to replace an OEM component is a no-no in my book.

don't like them either. I got rid of my honeycomb rs2 grill. These looks similar.
