front grills

If it makes you happy then go for it. But honestly an OEM SiR is like 80 used. Realistically, once you pay shipping, conversion to CDN dollars, customs and whatnot you'll pay at least 40 for one of these ghetto aftermarket ones. And they look horrible, I can tell from far away when a car has some knock off grill, because somethign just looks wrong. Not worth it making your car look worse than stock cause you wanted to save 40 bucks, IMO anyways.
Oh and let's not forget resale. Decide you want to change your car back to stock? Chances are unless you severely got ripped off, you can sell an SiR grill back for what you paid for it, or maybe take a tiny loss, even two years later or something. Nobody is going to want a used knock off grill, though.
I'm not saying ALWAYS buy OEM or anything, I'm not one of those people, but honestly, in this secnario the price is negligeble and there are TONS of drawbacks, and it looks liek ****. Just not worth it to cheap out in this situation..

I mean absolutely no offense, but it doesn't look better. I would rather see a stock OEM grill (non-SiR) than any of those.
