Ordered my Stull grill from Summit. It came on Saturday. Only paid $105.95 plus $8.95 Handling. I was looking on FleaBay and some people were selling them for $130.00+ and charging assinine amounts for shipping. Everyone now just makes up prices and sets it up so you can only use Buy it Now and just wait to see if someone gets suckered in. I thought EBay was supposed to save the consumer money by using AUCTIONS. I guess that went out the window when people realized they could rip you off. I guess they think that since you are buying on EBay you ASSUME you are getting a deal. When in reality you are getting hosed.........


Don't get me wrong......Not EVERYONE on EBay is bad, Just seems to be ALOT more of them lately.....I ordered a matching bumper insert off a guy on EBay. Got an awesome deal and he charged $8.00 for shipping.

Great looking grille.....What was involved with installing it....and is it an insert or a complete grille?


I think Ebay needs to crack down on the shipping & handling abuse. People are doing this so they can list an item at a low price and make their profit in shipping (Ebay charges a commision on the amount of the auction, not the shipping). They are losing big time.

I personally have been very lucky with Ebay. I had one item that never showed, I had a guy buy a Tube amp from me and never sent the $$, but other than that good luck so far :)

2000:
It is just the center peice. I had to take the lights out, remove the radiator cover (no big deal), pull the whole grill out remove the center piece and replace it with the Billet grill. A funny thing was apparently at the factory when they installed the grill the broke the clips on the bottom and had super glued the brokenpieces to the bottom of the grill to hold it in place.

Re-installing the assembly was a serious pain in the beans.....The gril was too big, I had to bend the bottom corners to get it to fit, the pieces that the instructions say to leave on I had to cut off. What should have taken about 1/2 hour took alomost 2 hours...........

But it does look nice.

I have a different problem with my 09 Expy grill. The lower bar sags, looks a bit like a smile.

Look behind the lower bumper cover (that's what it is, not a grille), it's probably not installed correctly...that curved smiley piece is supposed to be pushfastened to some piece directly behind it afair, and tends to bend if it is being pushed aside instead of clicked in place
