Shelby style hood vent

It's stuck in customs in NY the morons put an almost correct address on it. Then said they sent it to my address on file. USPS sad it was sent to an address using west instead of east x... Street. Basically shit bag scammers.

Thats unfortunate. I've had a lot of problems ordering things directly from I overseas vendors which is what initially put me off from picking it up on ebay.

Not gonna help you now but w2bodykits is now selling an identical product for about the same price and theyre based out of California according to their site.

Anything bought being made in China, will be a roll of the dice, especially with fit and finish. And of course now one will be paying a lot more for the cheap item.

Even American after market parts are a roll a dice when it comes to fit and finish. Nothing different from Chinese products. And on top of that, even OEM parts are a roll a dice when it comes to fit and finish on American cars. Mustangs and American cars in general are known for panel gaps all around.

It's funny that we always blame China to have bad fit and finish while American cars are known for bad fitment. China has grown a lot during the years when it comes to quality but for some reason we still use this old bad Chinese reputation that they had from 20 years ago.

Maybe this is some kind of tactic to protect the American market, but it is really not fair to blame other countries while the same country sells the same quality for 4x the price.

My reply was in regards to Post #13. If you purchase from reputable vendors, your odds are better that fit and finish will not be an issue. Many aftermarket vendors have test vehicles either in their inventory or are accessible, in order for them to be more precise in making the products. Don't believe the same can be said about non-reputable vendors.

Figured i'd let people know not to waste their money. Speaking of which ive already gotten mine back. Bank charge back. Ive ordered many parts from overseas this is one of the gotchas. Sad thing is you check am and cj pony parts nada same ole crap.

Rolled the dice and purchased the w2bodykits version. It came from china but was delivered within 5 days. Fit is great, finish is pretty good also.

Looks good! Mine should be here in a couple days from w2bodykits as well, fingers crossed their shipping estimate is accurate.

Off topic but how was the install on those fog lights?

Install was pretty straight forward. If you have taken the bumper off before it’s super easy. I did the install in about an hr but I have also got very good at taking the bumper off.
