They look to be the same, I didn't check all of them but the first three are all made of the same material. They maybe all the same brand but just sold by the different companies.

I would go with the more expensive one, like the first one. I think the reason for the difference in price is because of the way they are coated and or painted. So I think it will just be a choice of what colors do you think look better.

Ok the first billet grill has 5 bars and is completely wrapped.
Second one has 6 bars and is open ended.
Third has a shitty picture but looks the same as #2.
Fourth has eight bars and is openended.
Fifth has 5 bars and is open ended.

Personally I'd do the one that is wrapped (looks better imho), or the 8 bar, more bars to hide the stock grill in place. The more expensive ones should be using a thicker gauge aluminum, but unless you work metal you probably can't tell.

Personally I wouldn't get any of them, I'd get one of these two. Have fogs? If so the second one I posted is your best bet.

I'd cover it, but, only because I wouldn't want people to know I had a supercharger.
