Camaro Billet Grille on Ebay

ebay grille


Has anyone bought this grille? It looks pretty good, and is alot cheaper than the one Ive seen at Hawks.....but Im wondering if it has to be bolted over the old grillle (I wouldnt think there'd be much room and would result in it looking bad)

I bought it. There are no zip ties whatsoever though. I don't know why it says that in the auction. It's held on by L brackets and screws. That's it.

I wasnt even happy with the expensive Trenz piece. I bet I would be even more unhappy with something cheaper. Not only are the mounting methods retarded, those grills come all jacked up in the mail. Spent hours getting mine straight ... and its still crooked!! (doh!)

I was expecting a much better method to install that grill, I ended up selling mine for $10 at a swap meet.

They look a bit different. The one from Hawks look like it has more spaces in between than the one from ebay. Does anyone know if they are exactly the same?

I haven't actually installed it yet. It doesn't fit over my RS grill because it will stick out too far. So I'm gonna put in my iroc grill and put it over that. Fits fine over that. This piece feels like quality to me guys. It is totally straight and not bent at all! I think it was worth the hundred dollars i spent on it. No doubt!

The grill from ebay isn't curved like that in the middle. SO it doesn't look like your car is smiling a big toothy grin! lol

Did anyone else notice the turn signals on the ebay camaro are bowties? never seen that...

And so the Ebay one is completely flat? It doesn't taper forward in the middle like the stock ones? If not then that really really sucks
