One bar grills off fleabay

I like the look of the one bar grill that I see on fleabay, but I'm concerned with poor quality. Pictures make anything look great.

Can anyone recommend a one bar grill that's of OEM quality?

Here's and example:

The quality is superb. I had it on for about 3 years now. I purchased both the single and dual grills. I bought it from another seller that was about $150 shipped in 3 days. Forgot the seller's name but you will see my car as on his sample...a white CLS.

In reference to the grill for the seller I linked to? There are a few sellers, so I have no idea who'd selling the good stuff or the crap.

Can I trouble you to check your ebay records for the seller's name? I'd love to know. Thx in advance!

i bought this grill and am wondering how you remove the stock grill? it looks as if you have to remove the front bumper to do so? any help is appreciated.

Three bolts on the top of the grill from what I recall. The bottom of the grill is held in place by tabs. NO bumper removal for sure. http://screencast.com/t/OLWkUrHB

I've still not purchased this. What's the quality of the one you bought compared to OEM?

From the looks of it, the grill is made perfectly, but my only complaint was that they did not provide anything to make the emblem stick to the grill. Heck, even the emblem provided with the grill was OEM. I was getting work done on my Range Rover, so I had my shop affix the emblem to the grill. Just can't wait to put the thing on!
