Aren't Ionic gialla fakes? I mean, not fakes. But replicas. But even good replicas cost the same as an authentic, and I personally like the Ionic better

Why one earth would you pay $400+ for an authentic when you can have a replica that had the fitment issues corrected for half that price.....

Just sayin....

Ionic! You can get a PAINTED Ionic replica Gialla grill for $260. And no fitment problems.

Just paint your stock grille black it looks just as good IMO and costs like $10 between sandpaper and bumper coating.

Well, he didn't necessarily say it would look LIKE the Gialla or ionic, just that it would look as good. Which I sort of agree with. I think an emblemless, painted OEM grill could compete in looks with the Gialla or Ionic. And it's definitely the cheaper way to go.

I just received and installed my Ionic replica grill. Couldn't be happier! Fits like a glove and the paint is spot on. Took all of 2 minutes to install.

My point exactly. I mean if it fits perfectly and you get at half price than the original then you should buy it. Not like anyone will even know it's replica or not, unless you go pointing.
