ebay billet grille????

So I am getting ready to buy a billet grille, did some searching, and on ebay they range any where from mid $50 to $200, I also checked lmc, and they have it listed for $160. I have bought billet grilles from lmc before, and they are decent. Just wondering if any one has bought the cheap grilles from ebay? and what kinda quality they are?

kinda like this one, top rated seller, with free shipping, and looks finished exactly like all the lmc grilles that I have paid more for

Re: ebay billet grille????

I bought an eBay phantom grill. Good quality but the front of the grill is actually painted silver as opposed to actual silver metal..

Re: ebay billet grille????

^^Do you have a pic of your phantom?

I bought a phantom for my 93' Safari on Ebay. It's good quailty and it is real polished aluminum but the guy shipped it pourly and some bars on the edge got bent a lil but I fixed it and its all good now. O and I had a different seller so he may ship it to you better.

The fit is better than that pic shows, it was just sitting in there to get an idea what it looks like. Like I said the front is just painted silver but for the price paid im totally happy with it.

Re: ebay billet grille????

I've got two from eBay, one being a phantom. Got the cheapest total price I could find (the cheap ones tend to have high shipping charges) so I just add up some till I find the cheapest and they have both been great!
