Guys I got a new grill which was not as good as I thought it would be...I got it from ebay from Motor Energy which I now suggest you stay away from. Anyway, headon, the grill looks fine.

But, if you look closely the curvature of the grill is not right, it's not curved enough, and it is not flush with the headlights. I'll have to settle with this for now since I want more cooling airflow into the intake and onto the turbo housing too. Also, it's only mounted on the two top mounts, I had to use my own bolts because the screws that came with it were apparently to mount it on the bottom part of the grill which I found nothing to mount with. It seems to be fastened firmly enough though and should serve my purposes until I can get a better one later on.

OR am I just being anal??

It's the little things that bug me too. If you don't point it out to people I don't think too many will notice, especialy those who don't own a Box. I personally think it looks like a nice grill overall.

Have you called them to see if they all fit that way and maybe you just got a bad one?

 

[squirrel]

Nope not anal. I wouldn't be happy either.

 

[Dew]

I agree with squirrel, I don't think you're being anal at all. I would be pissed as well, especially for the money you probably spent on it

 

[BOXlover11]

thats the one prob w/ ebay. You don't actualy see the product. It looks like its bent a wee bit near the headlight too. I would wreck a few heads, but even if you leave neg feed back, they just try to bash you instead of fixing the prob. I'D BE PISSED!!!!!!!!!!

 

[preacherboy]

Yea I noticed one of the bars was slightly bent too, it sure doesn't seem like high quality stuff...and you can bet I won't leave a positive feedback for them either.

I did try to contact them but haven't gotten any response yet. I'll save my feedback until I can see what kind of response I can get from them if any...

mine sticks out some to but it look great go with it man looks good

 

[jpscion]

if you want better air flow you could always modify the stock 1

/Agree

Mine was awesome from afar. Took me $50 from eBay, about 30 combined minutes for install, shared a beer with my dad, backed up and looked good, smiled then walked closer to clean up and noticed the bent ends...

Dissappointed yes. However, I should have expected that for $50. So now I spent the money for the newer grill from Scion Sport. I'm getting the mesh grill. I guess we live and learn.

 

[preacherboy]

Yeah, I guess we do live and learn, but this should provide better airflow than my stock grill which had holes drilled into the side that has the intake. I tried to drill more holes but I would have to drill through the whole grill and at the rate I was going I thought it better to get a grill that is already made. If I look at it from my house window to the driveway, it looks pretty good...I just don't like to add parts to my car and have it look like a bunch of mismatched pieces, I want smooth fitting shapes that make it look like it's part of the car. And also this grill felt heavier than the stock plastic one. That should give me some added downforce for my wheels when I'm in full boost!

Honestly buy the grill direct from Scion. $300 roughly. You won't be sorry. I currently have the one you're inquiring about and well once I hvae my new grill anyone can have this old one...

I went and got this one.

I also got the bottom 2 grills. I spent just about $250.
As soon as it's here I'm installing it!

 

[L0sT]

Yeah that is noticable.... If was stuck with it, I would get creative and start a new design out of it. but thats just me.

 

[20inchBOX]

would have to say defenitly worth a negative feedback on ebay for that grill

 

[preacherboy]

Yeah, I think so too, i looked at the grill again today to see if maybe I can adjust it, but not really...and that slight bent, is part of the way the metal is from the beginning, it wasn't caused by some impact.

 

[xb1013]

i think its fine.... the more u trip abt it, the more u gonna find flaws.... if its not BIG, then its okay..... since its a non OEM part

 

[Digger]

I had the same problem. I purchased it through Ebay and mine looks exactly like yours, wrong in the same places. I griped about it and they refunded my money and let me keep it. I put the stock one back in and the billet sits in the box. Not sure if I'll use it again or not.

Don't Buy Any Part That Are Not Brand Stuff From Ebay
They Are All Piece Of ****
Yes I Say Peice Of §hit

I Bought The Headlight From Ebay And It Fog Up The First Night And Water Got Into The Bulb.... Kaboom There Goes My Hid Bulb $100 Bulb

 

[Scion-Doll]

I feel ya, bought my top one from one place and the bottom two from another place:

See what I mean? I'm gonna try and bend them a bit; the top is more separated then the bottom. I'm happy with the two bottom ones.

 

[preacherboy]

That looks exactly like mine, even down to the bag of screws. But I will be more careful in the future about "cheap" parts off of ebay. The only thing I have set on my mind to buy off ebay is the Clutch Masters stage 3 clutch for $396 which is the cheapest I've found so far. For accessories and stuff, I think I'll just go to the local shop so I can at least see it in person.
