I just installed a set of the zip-tie ones from "southams" in the UK. I bought them through ebay at the lowest price I have ever seen them sell for, just over $50 including shipping. Here are my thoughts...

First off, I was less than thrilled with the packaging. Considering they travel overseas, they were very susceptible to being bent. Fortunately, any imperfections due to over-handling were minimal and once installed, less visible than I expected.

Second, as implied above, they are kind of cheap. And as mentioned by another, they are made a bit too narrow, leaving a gap on the top and bottom. Frankly, I was pretty disappointed when I first saw them. And in fact, I probably could have made them myself at a fraction of the price if I had the material and a pair of tin snips.

Now that I installed them, I have to say I do like them quite a bit. I placed the lower edge almost flush with the bottoms of the original grills, thinking that you really can't see the top edge as much looking at them. And I was right.

The zip-ties are also barely noticeable. You'd really have to be looking hard to notice them (or any other imperfections due to less than perfect manufacturing or shipping). My only suggestion is that he include a third zip-tie to secure the centers of each grill. I just happened to have the same ones in the house, so that's what I did.

Like I said, I think they look pretty darn good once in place. They have a nice 3D look as opposed to the vmax ones and cost less than a third of those too.

Benjiboy bought a set in the same auction. I'm curious what his take is.
