2003 S mesh grill

Hey TN, I just picked up my 2003 Corolla S and I've got some extra cash to spend. I want to replace the factroy grill with a black mesh grill. I saw some on eBay for $30. Are these grills on eBay quality or should I be looking somewhere else??

Thanks

Generally, if it's on eBay = low quality. That's why it's on eBay.

Occasionally, you'll find something good. But if 30 bucks sounds too cheap for a grille, it probably is.

I agree eBay is usually low quality and they grills look kind of crappy. What sites do you use to order performance and after market parts?

I have searched high and low, and have not found a place that sells a honeycomb grille like the ones they advertise on eBay. If someone knows where to buy one that guarantees fitment, I'd be quite appreciative (that isn't AAS. They want $50 to ship anything up here, from a shift knob to a sway bar).

^^ eBay, if that's something you're comfortable with. Not saying eBay grilles are a bad product, but some people don't like buying things off eBay.
