| ★★★★★ | Great Looking Grille installed on 2013 F150 XLT |
| Verified Purchase |
The grille fits nice and is finished with a nice matte black. After a few little (but frustrating) install details, it came out very nice. This has nothing to do with the product, but I initially had reservations with the matte black grille on my tuxedo black truck. After the install though, I am very happy with the look. I will list some details on the install so you know what you’re getting into...
A few P.I.T.A. install notes:
Emblem
Removing my existing emblem to install in the new grille was way more difficult than I expected. There are two (2) 10mm “nuts” that fasten the emblem on the grill, but there are also grooves that the emblem has on the stems that the nuts tread onto that catch on tabs in the grille itself. This added measure of fastening is not evident to the naked eye and I couldn't find any vids online with deets on this headache when it wouldn’t just come off after the nuts were removed. I ended up breaking the tabs on the old grille to get it loose. I also happened to have broken the fastening tabs that insert into the hood when I was trying to pry the grille off after the bolts were removed. Maybe I’m a little too rough, but I wasn’t trying to be…so a little heads up cause both of those removal steps aren’t as easy as I think they should be.
The emblem area on the new grille is not easily accessible from the back of the grill since it is fastened onto the honeycomb portion. The instructions tell you to work the 10mm nuts on the emblem through the honeycomb…I couldn't do that because it was impossible. I ended up removing the forward most piece of the grille assembly to be able to fasten the emblem and then reattaching it to main assembly again (there are plastic brackets that attach it). Another step that took too long based on the instructions. A plus is that if you want to change your grille look, you can always remove the emblem piece and get a refresh!!!
Wiring LEDs
There are other grilles that come with the same style LED grille lights that apparently have instructions on how to tap into a constant 12v, but this specific grille didn’t come with instructions on how to connect the wires, it tells you to consult a qualified professional. If you already have some wiring know how it’s not a big job. I did have to extend the wires with a piece of stranded 2 conductor to be able to reach my left headlight wires.
Other than those (2) road bumps the install is very easy and straight forward, highly recommended! |

GREAT mirrors. ALL METAL, NO PLASTIC WHATSOEVER.
Mirror stem and head swivel tension are ADJUSTABLE. This is AWESOME.
As for vibration... Sitting still at idle, and even at high speed/rpm the mirrors show little to none.
Finish seems to be flat black paint base, but then gloss clear-coated.
Got these to replace the single, slightly shorter stemmed mirror I had. With narrow drag bars and broad shoulders, seeing directly behind me meant tucking in my arm and leaning out. (not good)
With these mirrors installed, I can see directly behind me with ease, in either mirror- even though my bar components are laid out asymmetrically.
I will say that these look a little bulky on my bike (naked late 70s Japanese street rocket). Not only are the stems longer than the original single mirror (which is what I wanted), but the stems are thicker, the mirror housing (round part) is deeper, and they have just a hair more trim area around the mirror.
They are NOT so bulky that I dislike them... just gotta get accustomed to the new look.
Being able to see behind you is far more important than keeping a bike buck naked.
BUY THESE MIRRORS. |

| This replacement fan fit perfectly on our E53 BMW X5. The removal and install was a bit tedious since the front bumper had to be removed, but once that was done everything else was relatively easy to accomplish. The new fan got rid of my annoying engine overheat condition and the new fan worked as intended seconds after plugging in the new unit. I am very satisfied with the quality and the price on this alternative to the Behr or BMW original part. The only thing different I noticed that I noticed on this unit was that it has a tiny built-in blue LED that would flash inside the motor drive assembly. Barely noticeable from outside once installed but definitely something new from the OEM, Otherwise unit works great, fits great and is a bargain price. |

| What a great investment. I just received an Nespresso maker for my birthday and I love it, the coffee comes out rich and creamy, BUT, the Nespresso coffee capsules are so expensive, and between my husband and myself we drink at least 5 to 6 cups a day, but then I found this.... Once a week I take about 20 minutes to clean out and refill about 20 of the capsules, it's simple, I use a coffee we like, and it is saving me a ton of money. I've already re-ordered more cap covers. |

No. It is not a top notch quality set, but presents a reasonable quality as well it is very comprehensive for a very competitive price.
I purchased it as the first set for my (late) teen son to use in his first projects as he is living away from home.
Recommended. |

| ★★★★★ | Superior quality, cute patterns |
| Verified Purchase |
| This is a repeat buy. I have one on my key chain and each of my kids carries one clipped on or in their backpacks. The quality is superior to other similar products I've looked at. The grosgrain ribbon material is surprisingly durable and dirt/stain resistant. We like ours so well that we got them for teacher gifts. |

| They are certainly great tubes for the price. Please note the grip size RUNS SMALL! the 1 inch grips are really more like 3/4 inch. And the 3/4" are really 1/2" grips. Also notes these tube tips RUN TIGHT. These are great tubes for busy flash days at the shop. I have only found one tube (out of two boxes of 50) that needed to be tossed due to poor quality. |

| I bought one of these for another car and loved it so got one for my Honda as well. Custom fit to cover my dash ENTIRELY and very well made. Works great and I definitely won't be going back to the cheap fold up sunshades most retailers sell. If you care about your cars interior do yourself a favor and get one of these...makes all the difference in keeping your car cool and your dashboard from looking old and cracked. |

| I bought this originally for a gift, but ended up needing a socket to install my tv hanger. I loved the set so much after using it, I decided to keep it for myself and buy another gift instead |
