If any of you visit the shop, be sure to get a close look at one of his beautiful grilles with all the ugly MIG welds, and the scratched and falling off chrome. Then compare it to a Canadian built grille, at the next car show you attend. Tim should be embarrassed to sell such junk.

Here's a picture of my first grill. Tim told me I needed to bend the grille to make it fit better. I told him to do that before sending it to a customer. They way if it breaks, he can replace it.



Here are pictures of the second grille.



Look at the mismatched angle of the hood to the grille. Not easy to fix that much mismatch. Notice that I removed about ¼ inch of the top fin, so it actually fit the hood side. Also removed some material from the other side, but not as much.



Would you be happy with the chrome peeling off your new grille? How about a few broken welds so the fins flop up and down? Is 1/4" spacing between one pair of fins and 3/8" on the next pair OK too? Another thing that's hard to understand without seeing one of these grilles in person is that the mig welds on the underside of fins are seen distinctly as a reflection in the chrome, so the grille lools like crap.



Here's a picture of a Canadian built body and grille, with the body still in it's original gel coat. The grille fits well, with no body work done to the hood or lower grille area of the hood sides. There are no visible welds. I got to look at a 2005 model grille in June of this year and guarantee you that there is no comparison between what was available in 2005 and the crap that is sold today.
