I somewhat agree with you...I do like the look of it. But again, reading the description it sounds like it would be hard to get it installed to actually look like that picture...

Ahh sorry, I should have been more specific. I did mean I like the eBay item. I'm actually not that keen on the billet styling :/
And yeah I can imagine you're right about it not coming out aswell on your own truck as it looks in the picture but for 24$ and Free shipping, its worth a try right? I also caught a part in the item description that mentions he'll paint the mesh for you any colour you want which helps if your not that into the chrome look.

For twice that you can get a billet grill on ebay. Or for about $10 or less, you can buy aluminum gutter guard at a home improvement store and trim it to fit the opening and hold it on with some stainless wire, which is pretty much what that ebay auction is only they're charging you more than double what it actually costs to make yourself. I did this on my 98 S10 just to try it and it didn't look too bad. I've considered doing it again on my Blazer but would rather have a billet grill.

LMAO... paint it with cheap spray paint that'll start peeling within a couple of weeks probably. I say that's nothing but a cash grab and looks like gutter guard or material from a hardware store, you could probably make your own man.

I don't have any pics of the mesh installed. I thought I did but can't find any. Must be before I had a digital camera or I never took any before it got totaled. The mesh is aluminum and won't rust. It may eventually corrode but I didn't have any issues and I had used it to fill the holes in the 4x4 bumper cover I had on my Sonoma. I drove it through several winters and it still looked good.
