EBay Autogrilles?????

Anyone know anything about these? Just purchased one and was wondering if anyone else has one on their CL? I searched but couldnt find anything. Def. not a high quality part by any means, but it looks like it'll do:

There's a girl driving a white CL in my area with that same kit... looks decent in person a far but close-up it looks like "krap" because the alum trim doesn't match (oem ones are distinctively older than the autogrilles.) I think it'd look better with a white or black CL.

No, some people on here have grill made from some kind of furnace filter stuff that looks pretty nice, and is really cheap. I wanted to know how to make one of those.

You could probably get away with using the chrome door trim from autozone.

Here is what I found:
AcuraOEMparts Grill
AcuraAutomativParts Grill

Are both the same company? And which of the listed parts do I need to buy (I wonder if I could reuse anything from my old grill)?

I would guess since their pages have almost identical set-ups, they're r prolly the same company... not 2 mention the prices are exactly the same... if u dont use ne of ur stock hardware... you'll will need all parts on the list... choose b/t the #6 nuts(side protectors) it'll b close 2 $100+ if u get ur own tapping screws...
