Default Questions About Billet Grill

My brother wants to buy me a grill for christmas and has a gift certificate he wants to use.

The company is carriage works, wondering if they are good.

And also, i searched for pictures of the grills and all that came up for grills was people asking which color and people posted an answer

Im stuck between Black, Polished, and Brushed. But im leaning towards black since i have a black car.

and there is one on ebay for $25 these any good?

The ones on ebay are decent, but if you want a really high quality one, 6LITEREATER is currently redesigning it to look better than those generic ones...

See here: http://6litereaterdesigns.com/forum/...php?topic=83.0

Also, if you get one off ebay, you need to sand and paint it yourself to make it black.

IMO, it'd be a pain in the *** to sand a grill. Everything from 6LiterEater is top notch, so i'd check into that.

I have the black powdercoated grill from afterthoughts. If I was buying today it would be from 6LITEREATER. The ones on Ebay are hit and miss.
