It's a tough call. At times I think, as long as they drop a piano on it, I can use my plastic model skills, or aviation tricks to get good fit. I can imagine some of these people work like everything will fit with a hammer. Or they treat stuff like a 800 pound gorilla.
I'm with you on the " should I, or shouldn't I" . And yeah stuff has arrived broken. But Amazon made it good, so kinda stupid to get twisted about.
So I am filling a parts box to do the double D's in the 98 4 Dr Tahoe. Once I get it together that's a Saturday filled.
Good luck, send us photos to " ooh and ahh " over.
