Opinions on this EBay Vertical Black Front Grille

Anyone use this grille on CL? I searched and was curious just to see other pics. I'm looking for grille options. I'm thinking of going with KAZ but hard to get. I also like the DIY OEM grille without the emblem.

I'd be a little worried given that their picture for an '06-'08 product is shown on an '11+ car.

Not bad. I got rid of the lines and got this:

I would not buy it personally. Even stock grille looks better than that.

^^Ditto.

Aside from that, I think it looks similar to the stock grille and personally prefer the stock grille over this variation.

I think this may be good. It does look like an insert for '09+ models though.

I'm a fan of logo-delete and you can't get the LX-MODE horizontal one for '09+ (not sure why) so this is pretty cool. Too much $ for just an insert though.

agree. There are plenty of better grills out there especially when you are gonna spend that much money but at the end of the day its your car, your money. If you think it looks good then go for it
