Mesh Grill Questions

Has anyone installed the polished stainless steel mesh front grill from Mid America? It sells for about 1/2 the Race Mesh grill. I was wondering about the quality of this grill versus the Race Mesh grill. How does the finish compare to the Race Mesh electroplated finish?

I initially bought the polished SS race mesh grille but I hated the rubber surround, cheapened the look. I bought one from Apsis that was all stainless with a thin SS border, looks much better.

Terrible

I bought the exact grill you are looking at and returned it the very next day. The quality and workmanship was terrible!!! It belongs on a Chevette! I bought this one and the matching mesh filler panel however sold the car less than a month later. I removed them and have them for sale if you're interested.

Looks like the car has braces.

The pic really doesn't do it justice!

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably go with the Race Mesh grill. I know that the leadtime can be several weeks on Race Mesh. Do you know if anyone has them in stock and who has the best price?
