Meh, not to me. Hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

 

some ebay grilles fit really badly and look ugly....... I bought an ebay cheap fake carbon fiber badgeless grille before and it turns out to be a disaster. The grille doesn't fit at all.....

 

*cough* *cough*

 

VRD!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

OEM!!

 

personally i like the debadged look of the FIG grilles but to be honest its up to you for what you want your car to look like, grilles don't really do anything to performance so its really up to how much you want to spend on a brand or what you want your car to look like.

 

Get this one!!!!!! http://www.fastscions.com/Scion-tC-M...-TOY-1870.aspx Tell em Chris sent you, Joe at Fast Scions will take care you!!!!
Joe you and Marco rock!!!!!!

 

that grill fits over the old one? looks a bit awkward to me

 

im trying to get a black grille, i see johnny designz cost about $80 shipped, and the fig's are going to be $130 shipped.

just seeing if they are worth the extra $50.

 

^^ anyone?

 

with johnny designz do I just take the old one off and replace ti with the new one? I have a body shop do all the work usually, but can a "noob" do it? It seems very simple....

 

yes, it's very simple.

and captainlaziness care to expound on your Frankenstein grille?

 

I took the OEM grille and cut out all of the honeycomb bits and then trimmed a Fig grille to fit into that space, zip tied the parts together and put it back together with the OE chrome trim.

I didn't like how flush the regular Fig grille was and wanted something that looked RS1-ish.
