Gloss grills - JBSpeed or OEM?
Is the OEM price premium worth it?

I love my OEM, but my options were limited for the LCI front-end. Fitment is perfect (as you would expect).

I've owned both. OEM all the way. The other ones are seriously cheap.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

My modding mantra:
"I don't always upgrade my car, but when I do, I prefer OEM."
