[Spridgets] More on cheapo repros

[Frank Clarici]

WHY can't they make anything right?
Not the chinks this time the taiwanese.
Picture my NOS bumper, NOT a repro, but I had to get repro over riders.
I go to install the POS over riders on my NOS bumper and they just do 
not fit.
I check my originals on the bumper, they fit fine, the new ones look 
just like the old ones. BUT when you look close, the metal bracket 
welded inside that holds the captive nut, they whole bracket is off by 
3/16" thus you have to modify your NOS bumper AND the POS taiwanese crap 
over riders.
Now that I modified the bumper, it doesn't sit well on the bumper iron.
So I had to adjust that, now that I adjusted the iron, it doesn't sit 
well on the car, so now I have to modify the bumper mounting brackets.
All because some slant eyed MF can't read.
No I did not get them from mo$$, I would never buy from them.
These came from Vic-Shit.
Why do they do this? other than the guts welded in the wrong spot, (all 
4 are the same) they look semi decent. I'm sure they will turn to rust 
before the summer gets here but having them rechromed was out of this 
world. I hope to find NOS over riders in my future searches for parts at 
swap meets.
BTW, to have an AH hub cap rechromes, one that does not need any metal 
work and has no dents is $100, that $400 for 4 hub caps. That's a nice 
set of fancy wheels.
