Billet Grills

I'm going nutz trying to find a nice billet grill. Of course ebay's got'em, but are there any sites where I can purchase a three piece for a good deal? I would greatly appreciate some pics of your billet and where you got it. Thanx

i think they are all pretty crappy
these are mounted using "custom hardware" (zip ties)
i don't remember paying more than $120-130 for all 3 of these

IMHO, the grill must be installed so that they are flushed with the curvature of the bumpers...... slight protusion will ne nice too.

I sell the set of 3 for $250. Really high quality made by Putco (and sold at genuine Toyota parts in the Gulf States). I've run mine for over a year now (took them off for the winter) and have not had problems.

Examples:

Hmmm, I guess Iowa loves billet, huh?

Great eBay experience from Uncle Jacks Bargains on Billet Grills
All 3 grills for $130

Easy purchase
Fast delivery
Easy instructions
Easy installation (even I could do it!)
(Although the top grill howls at 50 MPH)

Got my grilles from ebay. The ebay seller name is "unclejacksbargins" . This guy is a class act. They are made by Stull Industries. Anyway, I asked him if they are blems or defects, he said that they are new in box, with hardware and instructions.... so, for $127 shipped, I bid, won, and paid.

I received the grilles today. They are awesome. Yes, I bought them from ebay. No, they aren't "ebay, twist tied, poor quality" grilles. The top replaces the stock grille and bolts into four factory openings using factory bolts. The bottoms attach to the stock grilles, using screws and wing nuts. So, look up "unclejacksbargins" on ebay, it's really a good deal, and refreshing to know that there are still some quality parts to be had on ebay at a good price.

He shipped the same day I payed, and I received them the next day (i'm only 50 mins away.) They were shipped by UPS, packed in a Stull box and padded very well.

Here's some pics.
