Anybody have this 3pc Molded Mesh Grill for $110 from Ebay? Curious if it's any good. Let me know, thanks.

Aside from the top one not being large enough (doesn't cover the bottom of the opening), it looks pretty good.

hello dirty engine. you'd be replacing something that was meant to block air, dirt, and water.

The RS2 has a metal panel behind the upper mesh to prevent dirt from getting on the engine. If you install this mesh you should consider the same thing.

I wonder if the bottom two screens would not enhance the RS2? Let me know, okay?

yeah dude, no dice. look at those sharp and pointy edges on the bottom two...did someone cut those out with a pair of metal shears? And I agree completely with all the above comments.

I see what you mean, but the ends are tucked away. It's just that the plastic honey comb is so inconguous with the metal grille that is stock on the RS2. Perhaps this grill, painted black would look better than the two lower grilles that comes on the car. I've been thinkin' along these lines since last May anyway.

I just meant that it literally looks like someone used a pair of metal shears on them. They are not professionally done, or at least not 110$ worth of professionally done. You could probably make something like this yourself for way cheaper. Just have to spend the time doing it.

LOL @ BIN of $110.

They made that out of gutter mesh you can buy at Home Depot for $4.

If you really want that grill you can make it yourself with a trip to the hardware sotre, $4, and a couple hours of your time.
