well, that's just perspective. they are the same stuff anyway. why pay more for someone who did the cutting for you? as long as they are the same stuff, i choose cheaper.

and it could be me, but i don't find the grille above nice at all i actually prefer stock myself in this case

I prefer it to be really stock, i.e. with the L badge although I like mesh grilles too.

I had tried to do this before for a BMW and the mesh was much nicer at the auto parts store, but I could be wrong. Whatever looks best I guess, wasnt trying to hate on em, I prefer stock also so far.

Looks like all the grill is painted black except the one piece in the middle. Any body shop could do that I think...

Dude, no... sorry, the grill at the auto parts store that I used for my bmw was much nicer than the grills/mesh I found at ACE and Home Depot. I'm sure about that, the stuff at Home Depot is cheap and does not have a good finish to it. Whatever! Just trying to help.

you sure you were looking at the right type of grill/mesh, because home depot has alot of different types. I think those grill maufacturers buy the same stuff. Unless they chrome the grill its the same finish.
