    The other day i posted asking what the visual difference between oem and china pro grilles. There is someone locally selling a used pro ome grille for $200 Canadian. They are about $500 Can new.
    $200 is about what a china one cost from Amazon.
    Im on the fence here.....
    What you guys think?

    Buy the OEM one if it is good condition. Quality difference all around is better with OEM.

    If it were me, I would go oem since the cost is the same. As long as the OEM is in good condition.
    Not saying the China one is bad. Just a dollar for dollar thing.

    Doubt it. The Japanese are no fans of the Chinese. Taiwan would be my guess.

    I have seen both. I have the OEM on mine and the quality is better. The fit and finish though on the OEM is light years ahead. Just looks nicer and is more stout and feels like it fits better.
