Question Billet Grille?

Hey guys, I just bought a 2000 SS it's silver in color and I would like to put an aftermarket grille on it. I have found quite a few billet ones on eBay for a decent price and was just wondering what everyone thinks of them?? Let me know either reply to the post or send me a P.M.! Thanx for your time again!!

I like my Ebay grille. Was cheap and looks good. Only con to the grille is that it will start to chip after sometime, depending on how much you drive your car.

To the OP, I am picking up a crap load of grilles tomorrow from PC so if you want one let me know. I'll wave the $25 PC fee (just order on my site and don't click the PC option but I PROMISE it will come to you powdercoated, in other words not painted so it won't chip like cheap ebay grilles).

I just put that grille on a few days ago, w/ out bowtie. No pics yet. I'd check that link out for sure, especially if 6LE is offering you the deal he posted in this thread.

You could have bought a powdercoated one from me for $75 shipped last week (was running a GP).

Lots of people see ebay priced at like $50 and think it is cheap then they realize there is like $30 of shipping and handling.

99% of the prices on my site include shipping...

No but I can still knock $25 off if you go powdercoat. In other words pay for a black painted grille, $100, do NOT check the $25 powdercoat option and I will still mail you a PC one.

I have two left in stock...
