Don't... just... don't.

Seriously, I went out on a limb and decided to get the Rear Grills and the Front Grill... and for the massive price I paid, they just send you these sheets of Mesh. I was expecting something pre-cut or vehicle specific... but NOPE... just Powdercoated mesh.

Suuuuuuucks to be me.. but oh well.

I've gotten some pretty good deals on eBay.. it's not all bad mind you. But there are certain things I guess that just kinda bite you. I wonder how these people sleep at night, yenno? I mean I'm sure they get TONS of pissed off emails. I gotta deal with this sorta thing every now and then at work.. so I can't imagine how much they recieve.

The sellers E-Bay listing says they accept returns & to contact them if you are dissatisfied for any reason. Have you tried to contact the seller? They have a pretty good satisfaction rating on a very high number of sales so maybe they will give you a refund

That guy was pretty popular in the Miata world until people started to figure out it was nothing more than chicken wire from Lowes that he powdercoated. Once that got out he cut his prices pretty good just to keep selling.

wow...really? I always assumed it was pre-cut too based on the pictures.

Though its not chicken wire...it's stamped metal.....but that can be picked up at any metal place for cheap.

Cheers.

Viva Mexico!!!!!
