Default Aren't all of these Ebay billet grilles the same?

You see different people selling them all, much like halos, but most of them look the same.

Just wondering if any of you had purchased the ones like these. From what I see of them, they are exactly like Stull's grilles. I'm looking for a polished grille that is powdercoated black on the vertical supports and on the top/bottom of each horizontal bar. (This is how Stull's polished ones are. I don't want the ones that are completely polished on all surfaces) So pretty much a black grille with only the very front faces of the bars polished. I know some of them have an additional 6 or so bars, but I think that looks like too much.

Are all of these the same, or is it just their pictures?

Any pictures of your cars from those of you have purchased them would be great! Thanks

They all kinda look the same to me too, but I dont really like the way those look, just kinda clashes with the rest of the lines IMO, but thats just my .02

Be careful, the very first grille I bought off ebay didnt have the screw holes, and it came with 4 zipties. I couldnt figure out how to put it on (not that I wanted to anyways) so I ended up trashing it.

pssycotic is your grill from grills4u.com one of the skrew/bolt in kind? I'm liking the look and price but am willing to make the extra for a stull if yours doesn't mount the same way.

I wonder how those stainless grilles look from the pictures they look very similar to the polished. Stainless would look shiny for alot longer period of time. If anyone has one of them let me know if you can tell much of a difference between billet.

Yeah, I make sure to read into them quite a bit. A couple of them (not the ones I listed) do say that it comes with zipties if you don't read carefully.
