Any input on eBay Midnight Grill?

I was looking at upgrading to a midnight grill but $400 for a grill seems absurd. Has anyone had any luck with an eBay grill for half the price? How's the fit? Here's an example of what I was looking at.

You could always either paint or PlastiDip it yourself.

If you like the dark chrome/mirror finish than the midnight grill is your best option.

Or you can get your factory grill & emblem painted for about ~$200.

I bought one off eBay for the coupe. It looked OEM but after install needed to re adjust the hood.

Some 600, 800, 1000 grit sandpaper, elbow grease, masking tape, obsidian black paint, and high quality 2k clearcoat and you can make your own for under $50. Thats what I did, and 2 years later, even with rocks flying at it daily, not a single chip in the paint.

I just received the grill today, took 4 days to have it to my house as it shipped from across the country. The grill fit perfect, looks great and has about the same weight as the original grill. If anyone is on the fence, I would vouch for it.
