I believe these are plastic, coated to look like chrome, and not a chrome plated metal.

JDM this, JDM that. That is not JDM. Like Ben said, they are plastic coated and not the real chrome plated. Arrgh!!

I ordered a fiberglass grille & the quality of it was poo !

My body shop told me if they didn't know me they would charge me over $200.00 to prep & paint so they said send it back.

The salesman said they would replace it with something else, they had nothing else that sparked my interest other than this one so I ordered it in the CF look. Same grille just not chrome. I am not even sure I will like this one but it was the only good thing they had. In all honesty I am going to color match the grille BOP though so I don't care if it is cheesy looking at first. Also it was cheaper than the fiberglass one

As soon as I get it I'll post back the quality of it unless another owner of it beats me to it.

JDM LOL !!! Any thing that coins the word "look" to describe the finish is far from JDM.

thanks for the heads up. From the look of the picture, the quality looks really poor.

Please don't say that

Poor quality was the first grille I got LOL !

Just letting you know my "JDM Carbon Fiber LOOK " grille will be here on thursday 5/11

I will post pics & let you all know what I think. You were questioning the chrome not the carbon but it is the same grille so I would imagine quality wise they would be about the same.

Stay Tuned

I bought this from Scionsport.com (same what bBist sells).

Good product for the price...see my review on Scionsport.com or on SL Reviews- Parts - Grills section...

The badge is not OEM, it is a few grams lighter than the OEM bB badging...
