Why spend all that money. Unless you want the weight reduction, you could probably buy those grills and have your hood cut out to make them fit.

That is because the one on the link on this site from Evosport is full double-sided carbon fiber whereas the one you saw on the jlevisw.com is Woven Plastic. If you click on that item on jlevisw, you can choose the material and the double-sided carbon fiber is another $1400 or so.
