Anyone try the Schatz Avantgard grill?
Just curious if anyone purchased this one and tried to install it. How are the edges cut and how is the fit? Good thing about them is the are made in Germany, so I'm assuming the fit is LIKE OEM. $159 + $12 shipping. Worth it if the fit is perfect. But for a hundred more ($265 using Rincewind's contact) you get the OEM one. If anyone tried the Schatz one, let the rest of us know is it worth it?
