Warning! "NRG" Mugen-style carbon fiber grill from eBay

[ragebomb]

Hey guys, so I took a risk and bought a Mugen-style carbon fiber grill off a seller on eBay. They sell a lot of carbon fiber stuff, and their eBay listings have some really nice photography, I thought my chances were good that the part would fit. I got it for $160 + $28 shipping. The eBay seller is "StyledJDM" in Orange County, CA. The brand is "NRG" and it's definitely made in China.

Well, the grill didn't fit.

I took the new grill to my local speedshop in Portland (Speed Concepts). They took off the bumper, removed the old grill, and determined there was no way this new grill would fit. It sits about .5" too high on either side, not to mention the top of it would require modification as well. The grill didn't even come pre-drilled.

Anyway I am writing StyledJDM, see if they'll do the right thing and give my money back. I posted some pictures in the next post.

I'll post a few more pics shortly so you can see close-ups of the rest of the grill.
