My ebay grille fiasco

[boostisgood]

IF that is the case then he should state that. Seems it would be a fraudulant listing, and thus grounds for a refund for me. The grille as a whole would fit, if the top was not so warped. He must have pulled it off the mold too soon.

here i'll take a picture of mine, I haven't installed it yet as stated above and bought it from the same person. One sec....

 

[TStar]

who knows..maybe the description is incomplete/wrong, the pic or both... nevermind, one of my users actually bought this grille from the same guy, but he hasn't installed it yet, i mailed him the link to this thread,maybe he will try to install it in the next days to see if it fits his bumper (which is an edm exclusive bumper shown in the auction's picture)

Here's a link from TStar's mazda forum...

GOod luck with this all.

yours doesn't look like it will fit well either

 

[boostisgood]

By the looks of VICS grille and the one on Tstars forum, it looks like I got a bad grille. I hope this guy resolves this. Other then the fitment issue, it would be agreat piece.

yea thats not gonna fit....damn ebay!

 

[Notorious_V.I.C]

Well what is going to happen now is i'm going to get started on my cleaning of my area and work so I can hopefully have time to drill or either just test fit this grill piece and take pictures for yea and myself to see. Don't worry too much when i talked to this guy he seemed like a nice person, but keep alert hope he exchanges it or sends you a new one.

ebay knock offs of knockoffs = not good

 

[boostisgood]

Well she couldnt see herself spending 200 bucks for a C/F one. (shrugs) She will be home soon and I will show her the error of her cheap ways. Now if this was for her, I wouldnt be able to get "away" with a knockoff.

Buy her a 'knockoff' diamond ring and see what she thinks.

even the CF one I got from horsepowerfreaks needed some trim work,and had a crack,but a little dremal work,and fit PERFECTLY(exept for the little crack)but I didn't find it worth sending back

 

[boostisgood]

Dear Sir,

[POSEIDON]

Definetly awful, I wonder if that fits the regular sedan though.

boostisgood, when i bought mine it had honda accord written half way down the page, i e-mailed him before i bought to check it was for the mazda. I'm thinking that perhaps you got sent a honda accord one?

thread jack

I have a question, how does this grill actually stay on the car?

Retorical....Are the two holes you have to drill the only thing that will keep the grill in place? I can;t see how you could use anything else..

 

[L8R]

Sorry to see bro, but you do get what you pay for. Good luck and I hope everything turns out smoothly.

 

[boostisgood]

V.I.C. yup thats it. You could use D/S tape to hold the bottom to the bumper. maff, that does not fit correctly either. It should be almost flush with the front of the bumper and that is not.

Thanks L8R. I said that exact quote in my first post.
