Default Ebay sport mesh grille worth it?

I was wondering if these grills were worth it or not. I remember someone saying they don't fit too well, is this true?

Ive got the ebay mesh on mine. Its a nice grill, but a major pain in the *** to bend and shape it to fit our bumper. took about 2 hours of beating it into shape.

Would you say it's worth it? I'm thinking about trying it.. Any Tips on getting it to fit?

The bumper has to come off. The shape that it comes in doesn't conform to the bumpers shape. You'll need to find a body shop guy that can swing a rubber hammer. It's a cheap choice, but a lot of work. I'd rate it a 4.5-5 out of 5 for difficulty. I got lucky and have an amazing body guy. But even he couldn't get it perfect. It's passable tho. Don't see any flaws unless your looking for them.

Hmm i think i might just go ahead and buy it.. My car is in peices right now and i have the front end off due to headlight mods n fixing a crack, but i'm thinkin my dad and I can pull it off..Were no pro's but he used to be into body work and I just like to **** around. So hopefully this works out and I dont break it..Since i'm a cheap *** I figure I'd try to do what you did..Otherwise that Reiger grill is like 190 bucks.. that's crazy!
