Default Ebay accessories

Im looking on e-bay at a few things for my Camaro. I was looking at the Billet Grilles, clear corners and rear fill-ins. Has anyone had any experience with these? They seem reasonably priced, but I dont want to get ripped off.

i decided to go out on a limb and buy the billet grille that APS(i think) is selling on there. i think it looks just as good as any of the others ive seen. i got the black powdercoated one with the polished front fins. im always getting compliments. they overcharge on shipping, but i still got it for about 60 bucks.

I've had nothing but good luck with ebay (that is until recently). Don't get screwed like I did paying $175 for a billet grille from a storefront. Also, you should check one of our sponsors for the rear fill ins. Teri does really good work and I would highly recommend her. As far as the corners. I picked them up pretty cheap on ebay. They don't leak, and I'm still using the stock bulbs and the assembly hasn't melted like many others have experienced. I think I bought mine from procarparts on ebay.

Check around here with the search tool.....I remember reading complaints of the clear corners from ebay sellers taking on moisture really bad.

please dont buy the cheap billet grilles on there!!! I bought the one for about...hmm... 60 bucks or so.. I got it quick but daum its ugly. I would say save your mulah and buy a stull billet grille from one of these places ---------------------------->>
for about $115. As for the clear corners/rear inserts, ebay is awesome for that!

Oh and luvmeZ28s grill looks good but its super soft aluminum and schratches real easy.

ive got two small nics from two boulders that i happened to come in contact with from 80+mph highway driving. i dont think any grille will stand up to being hit by a rock at highway speeds, and not come away with a scratch. stupid truckers

Fit and finish is a bitch, isn't it . I couldn't pass it up for $60 though.

Yeap. That be it. It actually doesnt look that bad on our color cars. But nothing beats a stull billet grille Thats why in a few weeks - its gonna be in the trash can.

It was worth 60 bucks. It's more than half as good as the Stull grill, and 100 times better than nothing.
