Question grill frame options

same bullsit as always, advertising that it will fit our grills 86-93, when in fact its built for the 94-95 models only...

I like the whole "mental" aspect of the price LOL

PS: I wonder if they asked Zorro for permission...

Not only that, look at Zorro's grill.... it looks like a stock grill painted black, not the S600 version.

Interesting...he says it's for the pre-facelift 86-93 models, but then the pictures of the grille itself is a 94-95...and then he has examples of different cars with both a 86-93 and a 94-95 grille. Kind of confusing!

Gotta wonder though...he might make some decent business if we refines his ads...and sells both types of grilles.

no doubt about it, he would have a great business going. But you just have to wonder why would anyone advertise something they know nothing off??!?!

or maybe they do know what they're doing and just add false claims in order to sell their products to a wider audience.

You will find in ebay a lot of smoke and mirror, snake oil salesmen who think they know but dont and will sell to the unwary.
Still a great place to get items but watch out for those hangin in the weeds...

I saw that right when it came on ebay a couple of days back, and e-mailed zorro about it.

He hasn;t been around much lately has he.

Happened to me once, some ebay seller was using pictures of my car in an auction, so I reported the sucker, and ebay yanked all his auctions.
