Default Need opinions on grill..

Alright, theres a local guy selling the grille pictured below. He wants $105 shipped. Its a really nice grille i think, plus it was painted HOnda Milano Red by a dealership, so it will match perfectly. The only reason i havent already bought it, is the price. I see grilles for sale on ebay and stuff for like 40-75 bucks, and i'm wondering if buying those and painting it myself will save money. Or should i just quit being a cheap *** and pick this one up, lemme know what you guys think...

I say just buy that one bro. Even if you found a cheaper one on ebay, by the time you got done getting it painted and cleared, you'd probably have spent the same amount or just a little less. Plus , if you get that one for $105, you can put it on immediately and not have to wait to get it painted. Plus, if the guy is local, why dont you see if you can pick it up and save on the shipping cost.

the cheap ones are si/type-r knockoffs. if this one is a real si grill, then it wont be cheap. i've got one of those ebay style ones.
