Tried doing a google search on konzepts and seems like mixed stuff. Most grills are $50 and this one is $200. I was thinking about it but not sure now. Don't want junk on my car. Anyone know anything about this company?
Oh, they said it was a European company...

It's probably like most Ebay sellers. They might drop ship. I always go by how long they have been on Ebay and how good their feedback is. That's usually good enough for me. Also, like most sellers, the price is probably based on the type of vehicle and demand for the item. I'M sure they sell more for a Honda than a Lexus...hence the highest price.

Just thought I'd post a picture I took of the grilles I got here. I think it does a better job showing what the finish on the grille actually looks like. In a lot of pictures, due to glare the grille looks a lot more silver than it actually does. In real life it is a very dark grey.

In this thread already was discuss that you dont need to remove your bumper for removal or instalation of the grill.
Please llok at the first few pages of this thread.
Maybe you can also do a search if you will.

Ok. I am more concerned with the the removal of the grill insert from the surround. I apologize in advance as my car is in the body shop so I can't just go look at it at the moment.

Just finished installing both of the grilles in my car, removing the bumper wasn't as hard as I suspected it might be before I began. Took me about 1.5 hours to get everything done. If you are only doing the upper, it doesn't seem like you'd need to take the entire bumper off. (Confirming what others have said).
Overall, not bad. The hardest part by far was the upper weatherstrip clips. Those little guys are annoying.
The one thing I would suggest to anyone considering doing this though, is to order an emblem too. It's stuck on there with double-sided tape. I took my old one off the original grille and put some new tape on temporarily, but I'm going to order a new emblem tomorrow. I'd rather have it with all the correctly cut and nice factory double-sided tape, haha.
