Default Upgrading to Dynamic Grille

Anyone done this? I have seen several aftermarket ones on eBay and am wondering if anyone has had any luck with certain ones. The OEM one is $$. Also, most of the eBay ones show a black oval where the LR emblem goes but don't say whether they come with the LR emblem to place there. This video makes it look easy but doesn't say which aftermarket grille they used.

Personally, I would not want to remove my OEM grill and replace it with a cheaper quality made in China.

Good point, but who knows where our OEM ones are made...

I did swap mine for an all black ebay grill. It was super easy to do, and fitment was spot on. It doesn't feel as "heavy duty" as the OEM, but I don't see how that matters for a plastic grill. The one I got came with a Land Rover emblem with 3M tape on the back. I gave it 2 coats of a ceramic coating for some added protection. Time will tell how well the gloss black finish will hold up.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you mind posting a few photos to show the fit? And do you still have the link handy to the one you got?
