Default Is this grille to good to be true

This seems like a good deal. $199 instead of $500 seems like a no brainer. Any thoughts

"Front Camera Brackets is Included in the Package to Install OEM Front Camera ( Plug In )"

Probably a clue!

It is probably a Chinese piece of ****. Get the real deal from one of the forum vendors, around $200 if I remember correctly.

Abound 200 is the non camera option, but with camera is, if I remember correctly, in the mid 300s. OP, the seller's wording on the ebay listing is slick, but definitely not oem sir

I cant find it for mid $300's. I would rather do that. I keep finding it around $500 with camera's

Unless you car came with cameras, not sure you can add them.

I would question the quality. If you’ll notice they use a picture of a OEM Z06 grille and not the one you will actually receive.

Default Just to be safe.....

......I bought the GM replacement grill from Cultrag for less than 2 bills (don't remember exactly) 'cause the official carbon fiber one was about $400(?). Even then my trusty Vette mechanic said it took alittle "jockeying" to make it fit/look right. Add 'bout 75 bucks for the install and it looks a lot better than the old one (reminded me of a kid with braces....sorry I'm an old teacher)

George, look at it this way. You don't want to short change your baby. Only the best for the one you love.

Thank you, and while I agree, trust me I truly take care of her. Never even seen a raindrop lol. Its a front grille. Im leaning to buying the factory GM part, but you know we spend extra corvette tax. Thought maybe save a little money lol
