Easy now! Lol!

You can find them on E-bay in a carbon fiber finish for that price. You can paint over!

I got mine off ebay for $70 IIRC. They look really good once painted to match the car.

I honestly don't care what anyone thinks anyhow. If its ricey for you then thats cool. I've personally seen way more ricier stuff on here than this. But I love mine since they blend on my car well. And plus not many have them so its a plus for me.

I guess it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. if you go back to stock chrome grill then you may want to paint them to match your car. I went for the more sportier look with the C/F and plus I have all the oem c/f stuff anyhow.

I hope to finally have some pics posted of my ride this weekend!

Keep in mind that mods are personal taste, just because somebody else might not that shouldn't discourage anyone else. That's why there are so many aftermarket parts because not everybody has the same taste. To each his own. I know that you guys are stating your opinions and that's fine that's what the thread starter was asking for. I don't think anybody offended anyone so it's no big deal. As for me, I've always liked them so I ordered them.
