I stay away from random eBay stuff for car parts (unless its a reputable seller selling parts I'm familiar with), but others have rocked that grill. Grant had it a while back, I remember he had fitment issues and he had to dremel it to make it fit, but he didn't have any issues when he painted his.

Nothing wrong with eBay parts as long as you know what it is your bidding on. I bought my 240sx and every part I put on it off eBay and to this day it is still my favorite car.

It appears that the seem between hood and grill is a little off. What exactly did Grant have to dremel?

I think the grille looks good, when done right. Here is a pic of one on G35Papa's car (hope you don't mind me posting your pic). I think it looks good and helps set the car apart from other G35's.

^No problem. The grill you see here though is an Unlimited Tuning vesion which is made of polyurethane. I've rigged up a way to eliminate the gap between the hood and grill but it won't work with the fiberglass ones. I tried and it crached the grill due to the stress it adds at those points.

well the finished product looks ok.. fitment still wasnt that great, has gaps at top and bottom and really tight on sides. they had to do fiberglass patch work all over from spider cracks and fill in alot of spaces since it just sucked up the primer. thinking of getting fuji emblem and putting it on front, maybe modify the one from the stock grill so it sits flush with the front of the grill or the one on the truck when i finish debadging it. heres a couple quick pics.
