Default I just bought a new grill

Ok, so I am a bit excited. I have really liked the billet grills that are sold at airbagit.com, but could not justify the $640 price tag for the 3 pieces. I saw the set being auctioned on ebay with a minimum bid of $100, and a buy it now price of $400. I took the chance and bid $100, and was the only bidder. Yeahhhh!!! So, I got the 3 piece set for $100 plus $40 shipping. The link for the listing is Custom Chrome Grill top and bottom, 3 pieces - eBay (item 190476724266 end time Dec-10-10 12:42:09 PST) Here is a pic of them from Osofast2's gallery for reference.

Yep.... LOL. And, I am always looking for a deal on the internet. In the last year, I have gotten some very good deals. Here are just a few that stand out:

French Door stainless steel refrigerator - Price mistake on Lowes... Normally $2399. I paid $698
HE Front loading Washer and Dryer - Price mistake on Lowes.... Normally $2998 for the set. I paid $798
Sony 50" LED TV - Retail $2399. I paid $719.

I just spoke to Lowe's security staff....you are banned from all Lowe's stores....for price tag rigging.....J/k...nothin' wrong with bargain hunting...I do the same thing, but Rudy just thinks I am a "cheap skate"....and Rob knows I am....

I have the same grill. One thing to be aware of is that the ends of the grill dig into the front facia.

I have heard that. I am planning on putting small pieces of clear shrink wrap over the ends of the billet rods. Hopefully that will prevent them from digging in.

It is a replacement for the main grill, and the bottom 2 pieces go over the existing grills. These are sold at:

Top - billet grill grilles

Bottom - billet grill grilles

great buy! I have the same ones, and I love 'em. Dip the ends in clear tool covering liquid and problem solved. Hmmm. I never thought to cover the existing lowers with them. But man they do look good!

That sounds like a much better idea than my shrink wrap plan. Ok, now I am going to show my ignorance..... I have never heard of a clear tool covering liquid. Could you please provide me with a product name or link to a product that you would recommend. Thanks!!!

Oh, and that grill looks awesome on your Alabaster beauty.

I just paid under $40, including shipping, for this. when I first received it, I tried to send it back cause it was just stick on plastic chrome with a slight lip to cover the lower edge of the fin. anyway, I sent it to the wrong addess and got it back. I wasn't going to spend anymore on shipping. so I tried it on to see, if maybe, it might work out ok. it's presentable. It doesn't cover all the silver, but that's really not so bad. I got these at globalautoshop and I now it's on order for my wife's xfire too. I really like the lower billets on your rig and I haven't ruled out any of them for mine. this was a cheap what the heck and it's not bad.. I sure do love my xfire. never thought I would enjoy a stick so much. need a third arm for my coffee.
