Looks good from that photo. I would suggest either painting the lip of the hood behind the grill black or using the plastic trim strip from the back of the OEM grill though. By installing per the instructions (rather than deviating like I did) how was your fit? I can't really tell how flush the grill fits and whether you have any gaps at the side or not in that picture.
Outside of that, looks good. These grills are really a steal at under $100.00 shipped.

First off.. Those ebay billet grills look better than I expected... Sure the fitment may be off or some "rods" may be bent, but for that price, I could look past those 
KY Dave... It shouldn't be hard to install at all. Just some bolts/screws.. Can you work a socket wrench?

I do minor repairs around the house and to the cars, just wanted to make sure it wasn't one of those MAJOR jobs that I would get into like "Next, remove the front fenders and hood, pull the motor and transmission".

Nah... It's a simple swap seems like.. I can't really go into details with experience, as I have not installed one myself, but by others experience, stories, and what-have-you there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of work involved
Oh, except for the lower grill, in which case I think people have said you have to drill into the bumper, but somebody will pipe up with the actual how-to I'm sure...

Instructions? what are those? LOL. Yes mine has little gaps on the sides, the billets could've been a little longer, but for the $$ I'm not complaining. I will paint the lip behind the grille satin black. No drilling required for the bottom piece either. The 2 "bridge" brackets needed slight bowing so the screws would reach them, then it was simple.
