I've had to open a dispute.

Is anyone interested in a blacked-out 4 slat sport grille (no star). If in the GTA, all the better.

That's not completely "blacked out", is it?........looks like a flat/carbon grey type of colour on the slats. I can't really tell, but is there any chrome at all showing?......

Haver you tried it on your car? It may not look as bad as you think.

There is no chrome on the actual grille, which really irks me. It is fully blacked out, contrary to what it looks like in the picture.

I tried it on. It just doesn't do it for me.

It looks like I PO'ed the seller Jakuo when I filed a dispute:

# 6/30/2010 21:04 PDT - PayPal: Seller escalated this dispute to a Claim.
# 6/30/2010 21:04 PDT - Seller: item is as described, its all black grill as show in the photo and also it says ALL BLACK GRILL in the descripbtion, TWICE.buyer only file this dispute because he want to back out of this deal. he send me an email 2 or 3 days after he paid for the item and ask if he can cancel this tranasaction, I said no because it has been shipped.now he just looking for any excuse to get this returned.we did offer the buyer to return the grill but he still went ahead and file dispute, he wanted to get full refund ( include shipping charge)please close dispute as soon as possible, item is 100% as described.
# 6/30/2010 20:55 PDT - Seller: we were going to accept your return, but you went ahead and file dispute ???this is all because you wanted to cancel this transaction???
# 6/30/2010 20:40 PDT - Seller: we were going to accept your return, but you went ahead and file dispute ???this is all because you wanted to cancel this transaction???
# 6/30/2010 20:38 PDT - Seller: why did you file dispute on this???item is as described and I said in previous email that we can take the grill back if you dont want it, you tried to cancel this transaction after grill has been shipped.whats the reason to file dispute? we accep

I did ask to cancel since I was having second thoughts. When I was told it was too late, I accepted that I would get the item PICTURED in the ad.
This is the same seller I got the CL grille from before and had no problem before.

Someone tell me I'm not crazy and that the grille pictured is not ALL black.

I've tried to add comments to the paypal dispute but haven't figured out how to yet. Seller has escalated to a claim for Paypal to make a decision.

if anyone in SoCal wants a painted black 4-slat oem grille (has a bubble and paint chip) or a schatz grille painted black with center star removed (has some paint chip). let me know.

i'll let them go for $40 each.
