Angry Ebay UTR GTR Style Sedan Grille Fail!

Well since I couldn't get the actual pre-painted grille from g35parts I decided to try the one on ebay that ships for around $140. Took it to my body man and they started to primer it and it was pin holed and spider cracked all over. Going by there to take a look at it and what it will take to save it and make it usable.

Dangit, guess I will return my chrome to autozone.... joking!

I have purchased many products from ebay, so what if people wana save a couple bucks. There are both knockoff parts and brand name parts on the ebay site. I have purchased an intake for my g, it is a knockoff, I was aware of that at purchase. I did have to modify it, in order to fit clean. It works and I am happy with it. Spent less then $40 on it.

I've got some OEM stuff & some other good stuff off ebay cheap. I got a euro spoiler painted for $120 less than Grubbs was selling it. It turned out to be the same one they sell!
