The pictures are still horribly low resolution when you click on them and look like they are from the eBay seller.

RatedX40iG05,
Where did this grill come from? Looked on eBay, didn't see it. Looks like black ribs with a chrome surround.

How difficult are the stock grilles to take off and fit the new ones?

Really easy. Just follow ind instructions.

AndroidRobot · 05-09-2019, 11:42 AM

IND isn't going to be happy now that people can get a similar quality one for 1/3 the price

I'll get one and compare it to my OEM grill and IND black OEM one

They still have a target market of rich individuals who will gladly over pay for top notch quality. Not made in China

Mieleo · 05-09-2019, 12:20 PM

Is this grill two parts or just one part?
Can it separate the chrome and slot ?

Ya.*
$400 CAD Total including $50 customs tax.*

A real steal for the Taiwanese quality and fast FedEx shipping, and I didn't have to be home to sign for it. They left it on the porch.*
Installed 10 mins later.*

I couldn't be more satisfied.

Now waiting for ceramic coating at the end of the month.
