what grill did you buy on ebay?

I jsut purchased the Caractere knock-off for $100. The version that is inset when installed, not flush with the bumper.

Nice~ I was just looking for a mesh grill and this is the only one I found when i was shopping:

Its a Kamei grill and ive bought mesh from kamei before (directly from their site). Pretty good quality. Cant wait to install it.

you know i was actually debating over the two too but I was just thinking the silverish badgless mesh would look so cool with my new intercooler kit (i was gonna removal the grills from the front bumper to expose the intercooler). I did make a hard decision tho because I wanted that grill too. have you bought a grill yet because i think that one looks good too (what color is your tt?)

The fun part is getting your hood lines nice once you put your bumper back on. I had the most trouble trying to get the sides of the bumper in place where it meets the fenders. Do the sides first, then worry about getting the lines right across the engine compartment.

I've had my bumped off 3 times now... It will be a walk in the park.

I do agree that getting all the gaps right is a pain. You have the hood line and the gaps around hte headlights.

I had to try to straighten the headlights too, the shop that i was raving about in the beginning got tired of my car I think, and towards the end, the quality of his work went down. Passenger side headlight assembly was aimed toward the shoulder. What a bitch. (the guy, not the car)(ok, the car too)
