I bought this about 2 weeks ago and it was pretty high quality. I found it for $70 with free shipping from a seller on ebay named "streetune" so you may want to shop around. The only issue is that there is a space thats bigger then I would like between the top horizontal beam on the grill and that of the car. It looks even bigger because it will reflect the color of the car that is painted under the top of the hood. Basically the grill pieces are spaced about an inch or so apart horizontally and then the last one ends up being about 2 inches from the top chrome piece of the car. I will post a picture tomorrow of it.
As you can see below, the top gap is rather large.
I still think it looks better than the Hyundai emblem but there is definitely a big gap there. Below is a photo of the chrome wrap I bought off ebay for like $6 and put over the Silver color of my car underneath the hood. It was reflecting on the top beam of the grill and making the gap look even bigger before I put it one.
the gap is on ALL sonata's even with the OEM one, it's due to airflow.... at first I also was concerned with my new grill but after painting it black I don't notice it anymore
The gap is a bummer but it is only an optical illusion with the chrome. My chrome tape underneath made a big difference believe it or not. The black is in no way structurally different; it just appears to have a smaller gap. And it definitely looks better than the chrome I will admit.
