Ebay grill

I think I already know the answer to this question, but would any of you consider this grill?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Infin...A1%7C72%3A1171


Doesn't look bad in this pic.





When they advertise this I get concerned:
"It has no pre-drilled mounting holes.
Modifications may be required
to customize the fitment.
Professional installation is recommended."

It doesn't look bad, it's just the standard "anything u buy off ebay is guaranteed not to fit" montra that would steer me away from this...

I had one of the first ones from ebay. It's hit or miss on fitment. I had to cut off part of the back of the grille to get it to fit but i still had the gap between the hood. Now i'm back to an emblemless grille and making more for other people.

have you performed a search!!!?

I have that grill from the same seller and one of the cars in his auction pics is mine.

Had the grill for over 18 months and no issues. Always get people staring at my car and then walking round the back to find out what car it is.

I poked around eBay a bit. I'm not looking to buy at the moment, just building a wish list. How much did you pay to get it painted?

Looks great but I'm looking for one w/o any type of emblem or badge.
