Grille

I'm considering ditching the billet grille that came on my Ex. Has anyone bought one of these grilles? Chrome Front End Grille Grill for Excursion F250 F350 Super Duty Pickup Truck | eBay
I'm looking for opinions on quality vs OEM. I like the 07 grill, but they cost twice as much and they apparently don't use the same bottom mounting clips, since they need to be trimmed. I was concerned about the zip tie/aftermarket clips used to install them.

Search "07 f250 grill conversion" They come already cut and modified clips ready to snap in.

This ad from sinister diesel has a YouTube video at the bottom of the page showing how the new one just clips in the same as the old style.

Chrome
or paintable

The lower clip(s) go right into the header panel like OEM.

The video that camo was talking about on Ebay was posted by MKM Customs, so I guess they make the ones for Sinister Diesel or it's the same company. Either way, it appears to be a better installation method than some of the others I was seeing on Ebay.
