I bought these off ebay from this company. They are very good quality and definitely worth the $40 I spent on them. I only bought the middle large grill.

I ordered these (main grill and the two side grills), and got them pretty quick too. I can't comment on the fit yet, as my car is still about 4 weeks from delivery LOL

I just won the other item bid!!! Yeehaw, $35 for the center grille - same company. They offered the sides for $30 on top of the center price that I won in the bid - so for $65 + $12 shipping I could have both sets. A far cry from $89 on their site for the center and $49 for the sides.

I'll let you know how they look when I get it.

This product troubles me in two ways.

They have claimed the grill has been made from (they have claimed) billet aluminum, no test results on Airflow have ever been made, and I believe their hold on by Zip-Ties.

They selling them at a cheap price, yes!, BUT what does 50% of airflow decrease cause is still to be determined.

just check out this thread

http://www.hondas2000accessories.com/serv03.htm

If you guys really want a cheap aluminum grill, these could be made for $30.00
The reason we make ours from Stainless Stell is for strength, visabilty, and durabilty. (i.e aluminum bends VERY easily).

This Post is to inform you of 40-60 hours of testing we have done with the front and side grills.
If there is interest in a cheap front grill please PM me.

But Remember,

Its Your Car, And Happy Driving-

Axcilla, as a courtesy to a site sponsor so they can improve their own product, I will let you know what I learn about the "cheap" grilles. My own analysis of airflow, installation and looks on the grill I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayISAP...6962767&r=0&t=0

At a recent event I noticed that a couple members took off the center grille that they bought from you. After doing some research on this site I learned that in hotter climates your airflow is not great either (4 bars on the temp scale is normal with your grille installed). If I hit 4 bars in 90+ degree heat, then the grille comes off and goes on sale in the GB for those in cooler climates who want a black grille.

I was urged by several members who used to have your grille not to even bid the $35, but I would rather test this new grill for $35 then spend $120 on one I know doesn't work here in AZ. If this one doesn't work and you come out with a less expensive grille providing significantly more airflow than your top-of-the-line, then you would have a sale.

Also, out of curiosity, how did you come up with the 50% less than your grille figure on the airflow for their grille?

You could always make your own at very little cost.
