Default Billet grille's on ebay

I noticed last night the billet aluminum grille's were dirt cheap for our cars. Should I stay away from them or are they worth buying? I'd hate to buy a cheap grille that doesn't fit correctly. I'm going to paint it black and buy the 69 model blue bowtie emblem, this is on a silver 98 Z-28 so I think it would look good and be different. Thoughts?

I got the same thing around this time last year. Im gonna be repainting the filling on it, cuz the black faded to a grayish color.... Other than that, mine fits pretty well.

Thanks! I'm ordering one today, those look great on lighter colored camaro's. Would you happen to know the vender or who sells these that cheap? That grill4u came up as a gas grill website! Thanks again

Id buy an ebay one just to save the money, unfortunately there are NEVER any black ones on there and thats what I want. I already tried painting my current one black a few years back and that didnt quite work out since it all chipped off from highway driving. I ended up sanding it back to silver.

Where did you find a Stull for $75. All the ones I've found are over $100.

Ha ha, no they didn't make an SS in the third gens but it does have the SS hood, 2000 SS emblems, dash plaque, 1969 RS/SS Grille emblem, Torque thrust II wheels, etc... Just something to be different, I think it looks really good too. You'd be amazed at how many people ask if it's a real SS! I've got alot of money in that car though..

Thanks, I got one on ebay for $50.00 shipped to my door. It's pretty bad though the 1969 blue bowtie emblem cost more than the grille! I ordered it today from Year One, this should look good on that silver Z-28.

I think they look cheap and cheesey. Just my opinion though. My car came with one and I took it off as soon as I got the car home. I had it sold the next day, so alot of people do like em I guess.

That's who I got mine from, are you happy with it? I hope it looks good on the car, if not then I'm going to have it powdercoated black.
