Remind me to check with you and make sure anything I decide to do to the car I paid for is good with you... Like me or anyone else on here really wants or needs your approval..

To quote the Ebay listing: "Polished Billet Grille (R86525A) by APG®. Enhance exterior and add stylish accent to your vehicle with Billet Grille by APG. The Grille is made of aluminum for high durability. The Billet Grille is designed application-specific to fit your vehicle perfectly".
What part of the listing description are we to believe? it seems to be a classic half truth. Or typical Ebay marketing BS. You and others say they are aluminum so that seems to be the case, and as you perceive there is no way in hell this item is 'billet" as described in the listing. Yet people buy them (I'm sure for other cars also) and they are OK with not being as described. Or they simply don't know. Or they see billet and they have to have it.
If they were billet they could miter the ends of the horizontal bars to make them match the taper of the grille opening. But they don't because they're not billet. And no I don't have one to look at. I don't have one because . . . they are garbage for shmucks.

Or cheap bait to bring out the shmucks who dwell on every word in an add with no reality clue..


I'd vote job well done.


Next...

Will do. Good suggestion. Friends shouldn't let friends but crappy looking Chinese made Ebay garbage. Maybe that advice is too late for you but there's always hope.
ROFL LMAO GFYS

Well there you go.. send a letter to your friend if you have one.. easy enough. You seem to be a little short of them here.


It's good to have a battle of wits here again.. but I guess you believing it was actually going to be milled from a block of aluminum ... should have been a warning I'd just be picking on you... Obviously not the mental capacity for it.
