Are these good? Anyone have this?

The pics don't look that bad... How do these compare to the > $200 ones?

I am extreme sceptical about the cheap price.

Give me your opinion

TIA

I have one, and have had no problem with fitment. It looks
good and is easy to install. The only draw back is that it
does not come with a backing to block the wind. You'll need
something or the wind whistles through and wines loudly.
I used a piece of ABS gutter guard and cut it to fit. The bottom
grills are where they raise the price, mine were $75.

You can see what it looks like in this thread:

needs ties to keep grille on the car, does not bolt up unless you find a way to.
basically its a POS...but i guess for the price, you get what ya pay for.

Yea the bottom ones are zip ties, but the top grill bolts in the stock locations
on the top, and has to self tapping screws for the bottom of it.

Shipping seems grossly inflated but they look quality.

A gap is created bottom center between grill and bumper that looks odd, like it doesn't fit.
