so I'm not the only one that bought the Road Race carbon fiber eyelids and thought they were crap...didn't fit well at all and chipped...have Tomato ones now...and I had the billet grill as well before 05 conversion...it looks so much better then the stock crap grill for 03 and 04 that Hyundai put on there...

i am not so worried about zip ties, brakets can be made easily. I am more worried about the quality of the grill, as in welds and symentry (sp).

I guess I will go ahead and order it, just waiting on his reply for shipping cost.

my fiancee just bought that grill for me....its $20 + $20 shipping.....its perfectly symmetric and fits perfectly....of course its not like what his description says "Direct replacement over OEM grill"....you have to drill couple holes on the bumper and zip tie the grill on teh sides......there are 2 bolts on the bottom of the grill (2 bolts and the grill are one piece) and thats why u have to drill couple holes, then tighten it with the provided nuts......the grill looks great....much better than the OEM grill....

I don't remember seeing zip ties on yours, does it? Shows how much I pay attention.

Yeah, I just got his reply. So its worth the $40 bucks then I guess, not fond of drilling the holes. That is why I was leaning towards making my own, that way I could make it mount like a factory grill. Might as well get it. L8R

I was not about to drill my bumper, so this grille was a godsend. Only got the upper bit on atm, its too cold to do the rest atm. And I love the grille, makes the front of the car look so clean! If its the same as the other ones on eBay and the one I got, I am sure you will love it.

NoS :D

Thanks for the eBay link. I just ordered one. So I guess there are five left now. I was looking for a billet grill for just the upper grill only. Perfect. Plastic ties or not it's got to be better than the stock grill.

As did I, I wonder how long it will take to get here. How much did you have pay for shipping?

The grill came today. I paid for it with PayPal last week on Jan 11 and I got it today. The grill looks great. I placed it on the car to see how it will look. I am going to wash the car this weekend and install it then. I'll post pics this weekend.

Does yours have the bolts in it, and did you get instructions on how to install. I don't wanna drill the holes and they be wrong?
