For those of you that bought a EOS front grill, how does the quality compare to the factory grill. I've always used factory parts due to too many bad experiences with aftermarket fit, finish and quality. Always ended up buying the factory part after buying and being disappointed with the aftermarket and throwing away the aftermarket part.
