The other mesh grille has a very wide band around it and looks like crap to my taste.
The so called billet grilles tend to scratch the body work too much. The word billet is used to impress people, the material used comes from the maker in bar form. A bar is a billet.
Billet grille sounds classier than bar grille, and that probably is enough to sell a few more.
Save your money and leave the OEM grille on the car.
If you have broken tabs on the OEM grille they can be repaired. Do not just yank the grille off when the top screws are removed, release each bottom tab as you go along the bottom from one side to the other.
