Default WARNING!!! DO NOT buy billet grill from eBay

i just got a billet grill set from ebay and it looks like crap! i figured it was cheap and couldnt be that bad since the picture on the listing looked fine, but once it came in... nothing fit. bottom two grills arent the right curve and the top doesn't even fill the entire area! worst of all it is only held in by zip ties and they expect you to drill holes in your radiator supports to feed the zip ties in. bottom line... they suck ___... dont get them.

people should spend the extra $10-$20 and go to a local shop to get what you want and make sure it is quality. everyone is always looking to cheap out and then you end up spending more.

Thats the real deal ____. No zip ties. You gotta take off the bumper to install and they replace the whole thing
