Gialla Grill worth it over new Silvia Parts Replica?
gialla grilll = 315. silvia parts replica = 180

gialla is urethane/abs plastic though. is it really worth the 100+ dollars?I know the silvia one had some fitment problems at first, but i've heard that they fixed all of that and it fits great now.I would usually prefer urethane/abs plastic parts over fiberglass, but is it really needed for a grill?

let me know your opinions...thanks

Sometimes, replicas are better than the real (original) maker/designer/manufacturer. The original street'able CF hoods were Sunny Style CF hoods. A few years after Sunny came out, all the replica companies ended up having better quality, and now Sunny is known as having one of the crappiest CF hoods ever!

Even WingsWest replicated many bodykits! Their replica kits are better than most of the original/real ones.

Its not "which came first"... its "which is better"

Do the silvia parts come painted still? Or do we have to do it on our own now?

I heard they fixed the original durability problems with the Silviaparts grille, so why not ge t it over the severely overpriced Gialla?
