I almost ordered from that exact vendor, but I was lucky enough to find one from a member here that's pre-painted + clear bra, and it has been stretched to eliminate the gap. But the ebay grill still looked good, as long as it has no gaps.

Yeah I wouldn't want improper fitment, but it would be nice to have a painted grill shipped to my home. Should i go for it? Or get a stock replacement.

uhhm..thats not even a real grille people!! thats the kenstyle front (probably a replica!!) if you look closely, actually..you dont even have to look that closely, you can see that seller PHOTOSHOPPED that grille! someone else asked about this and i said this same exact thing!! i would NOT trust this seller.

look at this..the first pic is the pic you see on that ebay listing. the second pic is from bulletproofautomotive.com

as you can see, i circled where the kenstyle support bar/emblem is suppose to be but is actually 'deleted using paint (if the person used photoshop it would have turned out cleaner)

the sooner you learn to not try and cut corners on parts for the G, the better off you will be.

I was going to post the same thing that AHero did...that's not a pic of their customer's grill at all. It's the Kenstyle grill at Bulletproof Automotive.

If you look at the pics of the black G...THAT actually might be a real pic of the grill they're selling. But notice that the grill on the Black G has a huge gap between the hood and the upper edge of the grill? Yuck.
