Default Billet grilles... Roush or American Muscle?

I'm looking to put a billet grille on my new Roush front bumper for my 2007. The Roush is really expensive, around $300 but American Muscle has one for under $200. Is the Roush worth the extra money? Eventually I'm also going to get a lower grille. Would one of these look better with the stage3motorsports lower one?

Lower grille

I appreciate any insight.

Thanks,
Mark

UPS just delivered my black billet from AM. It seems to be really good quality its from Stack Racing. I will post a few pics if you want when I get it installed on my new bumper Tuesday.

Thanks, that would be great. Did you get the tribar pony emblem as well?

I know it's not AM or Roush but I have CDC black billet grille and I love it. I can post picture if you want to see it.

I would like to see it if you don't mind posting some pics.
All these grilles look really similar.

I bought mine from Mr. Body Kit, $129.00, and they have free shipping also.

Here are the pictures. I'll have to take better shots since these were from my driod2. Personally, I love how they look on my car and their quality is really good. Installation was a breeze.

Have any of you guys with the billet grilles experience your hood shaking at highway speeds? I've read some posts that since the grilles allow a lot more airflow the hoods having been shaking after 75mph.
