How do you tell the difference?

Fitment is pretty good, the one that we used to make our replicas wasn't that good, I've seen better, but we were able to make adjustments before making the molds.
Most differences that I've seen regarding the Gialla grills is:
Original
a) ABS plastic
b) Black metal middle brace.
c) Black metal mesh
Our gialla replicas are:
a) hand laid fiberglass
b) no brace.
c) custom automesh plastic mesh
Other replicas that I have seen:
a) chop fiberglass.
b) unpainted fiberglass middle brace with a rough surface.
c) cheap metal mesh
d) bad fitment.
If you are local just be sure to test fit before handing over any money. I've had people try to sell other replicas as mine, once here on the forums and another time on ebay, so look out.
BTW every IP grill is color matched to my IP coupe, so I don't understand how that person claims that it couldn't be color matched.
Good luck.

From the sounds of it Ionic, that guy might be trying to pull a quick one on me...I guess there's no way around it except ordering a new replica from you or ordering an authentic one...
Check your PM Ionic!
