I bought this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/221317974740...84.m1497.l2649 and the fit and color match is perfect. It says that the seller is in CA but mine was shipped from Taiwan. I suspect the reason was that my color is a Designo and was not stocked.

I would buy from them again if I needed one.

I would highly recommend this company! The fitment perfect. They provided a roll of double faced 3M tape, and an alcohol cleaner with an adhesion enhancer. Packaging was great as well, and delivery took 3 days from when it left Taiwan.

We are going to have a high of only 19 degrees F tomorrow, 5-10" of snow, and he said he would not guarantee it will adhere and stay on the cold metal.

Makes sense.

I'm disappointed, but I would be more disappointed to see it falling off through my rear view mirror doing 85 MPH on Rte. 95.

(Orlando and NC are warmer)

TBC ~ Hang in there!
