thats not bad at all , great price, the dealers sell it for over $300 a piece and on ebay individually they are about 35 per grill so it would equal the same, i say go for it

I like the look of it, Im tempted to get a billet upper grill, but Ive not heard good things about eBay grill fitment, perhaps you'll get lucky though! Good luck to you!

Oh yah, love the avatar

Looks like a good deal. Just check to make sure it comes with the backing plate for the top grill so road crap doesn't end up all over the engine compartment. Post up some pics after you get them installed please?

It's a good deal. I bought my 3pc off of ebay (grillz 4 U) as well. Fast shipping and excellent packaging. I put the lower grills on upside a couple of times before I got it right. But, Like Cali says I like the shine too.

i hope you guys know that the stock grill doesn't let any air through into the engine bay for a reason... dirt! these grills with openings that let air through to the engine bay will not only make ur engine bay dirty as hell, but it'll also increase the road noise when you're driving on the highway.

i have horns installed behind my stock grill and sometimes i drive grill less. i've noticed there is a lot of dirt in my engine bay plus when i was driving onthe highway, the interior noise increases a lot with the grill off as opposed to having it on.

just something to think about. yeah it looks nice but is it worth the added crap - more interior noise + dirty engine bay.

i know most of you are gona say yes! lol. just info for you cats,

Thank you my good friend... so... my next question is... when are you getting yours installed?

you have no idea how some people in nyc drive... they're such _______s... my favorite
times are when i am at a 2 way intersection and someone coming from the opposite direction
cuts me off AND their windows are open..... OMG.... you gotta see the looks
on their faces..... i dont abuse it though - i only use it when people are jerks. i held
the horn for like 5 seconds when a dude in a convertible miata cut me off really closely...
he swerved so hard it's not even funny. he thought he had just cut off a semi
or a locomotive for that matter... hahahahahaha

CHPRBOX8 , that backing plate needs to be blacked out. It looks funny being mirrored. It also doesn't match the lower grills.
