Silva: your grill, are you happy with it?
I am interested in the ebay one for around $280, but the star seems to sit lower in the grill. How do you like it since installing it?

How was the fit and finish? Quality?
Thanks

I think he probably went back to Taiwan for holiday, but I've asked him when I saw him last time and checked it out personally. He said he likes the look, but the star on the center is made of poor quality plastic. He's afraid that it'll get hit by some rock and will break the thing.

Ok I was wondering the same thing that the front star might get dinged up pretty easily. Why does the Evo one have to be $520! :O

Im not sure because I dont know exactly how they will do ther rear setup. Im guessing the most economical way would be to just use a template and cut the right side. looks like the C55 will be doing the same for its quad exhaust. I like the Lorinser rear but its $$$

Great, how about the plastic front, is that holding up well? It looks like it would get chipped up and dulled over time.
