Seems like its a bit cheap compared to other sites with the same setup.

Not by much they are still $128.99, true not bad, but I have had too many bad experiances on eBay to trust it. I would personally go through a supporting vendor, they might be willing to work on prices if that is your deciding factor.

I agree. It almost sounds too good to be true. Usually it is.

More than one eBay vendor sells these horizontal billet grilles. I bought a pair and ended up only using the bottom one to get some protection for the a/c condenser.
They are very solidly built items. However, the spacing of the horizontal bars on the ends is uneven, and not just from getting bounced around inside the carton during shipping. A couple of the bars are soldered (welded?) to the vertical supports with uneven spacing, making it impossible to correct without going through a lot of trouble.

If not for that fact, they would be a bargain.

$79 for shipping sounds a bit pricey?

The lower grille is ok, but I personally wouldn't use the upper because of the spacing. T-Rex makes the best full billet grille in my opinion and Stull makes the best outlined grille. Just my 2 cents...

when it comes to big pricey stuff on ebay...id be very carfull. i hear alot of "why you pay so much for that, i got the same thing on ebay for much much less" but then down the road thier "parts" tend to wear out fade out or just plain don't work. i'd rather just pay full price and know that im getting the best of the best. no pirating here...ahem...i mean dvds don't count right!?

mine is holding up well, but maybe them cats up north have to deal with weather that we dont see here at all. that could be the difference.
