Default Is this a good billet grille (and a good price?)

This is that ebay billet grille 4 you's stainless steel grille. The price looks good for stainless...but I hate the shipping gouging (I wouldn't have a problem if grille was $97 and shipping was $13...instead of $77/$33. I just hate that s**t).

He also has an aluminum one for $25 less....but I think the stainless will look better with the chrome front end.

Appreciate any feedback from people who have them. I'm vey curious to know if these grilles tend to be at all "wavy"...I hate billet grilles that aren't straight. Thanks!

I bought an Ebay billet grill last year, and thru it in the trash yesterday. I bought a stock Tahoe grill and will be leaving it alone. If I were to get a billet grill, it would be a STULL and only a STULL. Another case of you get what you pay for....for me anyway.
Summit sells STULL grills. My friend has had one on his truck for 4 years and it looks great.

I have a billet grille from them for my blazer and i love it. No problems, easy install, and it looks just as good as any other aftermarket grille.

Do you recall WHO on ebay you bought the grille from? The reason I ask is because this particular guy "grille4you" seems to have somewhat of a rep beyond being just another ebay seller.

My brother bought a Stull for his 01 F-150 Supercrew. The black paint on the top and bottom of the bars chipped off immediately...it looked like crap in short order. Maybe it was prepped wrong, we have no idea.

I got my grille from grille 4 you and have had it about 14 months, no problems. Every stull grille i've seen has chipped within a month

Sorry, but I don't remember. I'll look back thru my feedback and see if I see a Grill4U or whatever. Mine was the aluminum grill and was supposed to be powdercoated. It seems like only the lower portion flaked. Either way, it wasn't even worth recycling IMO.
