I'm still on a roll guys so let me rant one more time.
Pulled out the new Hood Emblem today that I've had stashed for over a year. The "bow" in it was pitiful to say the least. The holes did not line up no matter how much I,actually my friend, pushed it to try take some of the bow out and make it line up. The gasket was just plain punch wrong. What should have taken me 10 minutes ended up taking 2 hours. Had to drill out the hood holes to 3/8" and had to cut the holes at least 1/8" bigger and it was still tough to get it all in place.... and of coarse in order to see and work with it I took the "panel" off so I could see into the holes.
What a pain. I'm still ticked about it.
I know I know, but guys, I have been around a long time and its just plain what this thread started about. Overseas CRAP.... yes, it even had the little gold Tiawan sticker on it. I'm going to write a letter to the vendor but do you think it will do any good..... no, they'll say "well, we haven't been having any complaints about, and you did use it".... arrrgh!
Yep, I used the thin piece of crap. Not worth the postage to send it back. $46 for a piece of tin..AND it had two HIGH and SHARP points on one end of it. I took a pair of needle nose pliers to tweak it a bit and you should have seen the "Chrome flakes" falling and poping off. Looked like it was snowing and I barely tweaked it. I ended up filing the tits off and the cheap stuff still flaked bad. I make sure I didn't get near the face edge and put it on.
Looking at the picture sure don't show what it really is!
