I got one from them and its rough. I would rather pay a few hundred more for less work to be done to it. I wouldnt buy it from them. I would get one from stylintrucks if i had to do it over agian.

I agree, fiberglass is kinda finicky. Street scene sells a urethane one that will fit better and flex under stress. I have had mine 3 years without problems.

oem will run you roughly $1K between the bumper, ducts, brackets, paint, etc. If you are on a budget, run the Stylin' Concepts one.

The install of the Street Scene cover is easy, lose the airdam, and screw the cover to the bumper in the fender area, and I also covered my bumper and the inside of my cover with black silicone as well..

yes mine is oem. fit and finish is just like a typical SS truck. I used the oem brackets to mount it. Only way to go imho.

Either that or the stylin one. I would not get the fiberglass one from ebay. I can imagine that one taking a few bucks to get fitted properly and just not worth the hassle.
