good to know, thank you. 30 day return policy makes it appealing. if the gaps look like shit on a test fit, i’ll send it back. if it lines up nicely, then off to paint.

I like that the seller says before you leave neutral or negative feedback, let me make it right.

yeah, that makes me feel better.

i remember a dozen or so years ago when i had my ford lightning and was shopping around for parts, ebay was the wild west. it seems now that most (definitely not all) sellers are pretty solid.

eBay has it's uses for sure. It is not what it used to be in many ways, but for aftermarket or used car parts, it is a gold mine.

I will go to Amazon first before eBay if I can. Just easier to return.
