On ebay you can find a isf style grille. I'm guessing for 80 bucks. Not so sure on what you mean by best grille for the money. But ebay is a good website for things like that.

Theres only one type of "ISF" or "fsport" grill, and thats the mesh/honeycomb style....
There are tons on ebay for 06-08 and cost between $50-$100
The only one that fits 09-10 is from sewell (or any dealer) and costs a lot more

The mesh on the OEM is-f/f-sport grill is grey/silverish gunmetal
vs ebay its just plain black
I would imagine the ebay one is made of a cheaper plastic than oem especially with the price difference.

I bought the eBay one and sprayed it gunmetal with a $5 can of spray paint from AutoZone. I even topped it off with a can of clear coat...

I did the same to when I had a 2is bumper. I didnt have any issues with fitment but I could tell the quality of the ebay is not as good as OEM

did you like how it turned out, and has the color lasted? I bought the grill thinking, "hey, its black like my obsidian, no need to paint it," but the more I think about it, im afraid its going to look like cheap black plastic.
do you have pictures of your grill painted with the $5 dollar paint, and can you link me to the color you used?

No matter what car you have, there's pretty much only one type available, depending on what you've got.
