The results from the poll show that most of you felt there were too many forums. The most popular choice, by far, was to consolidate them into chassis type, so that's what I've done.

Please let me know if you find any problems or I missed anything.

Thanks to Eric, for giving me a little kick and getting me started on the conversion.

Has anyone come across counterfeit parts yet? I almost bought a replacement grill for my 250 Super Duty from a seller on eBay, but after checking his feedback, I discovered they were cheap plastic copies. He was very careful in the way he worded the auction. No outright lies, but plenty of misleading statements.

Wayne,

Well, aside from the replacement parts for the generic Fox body Mustang, the parts I know being repopped are the 93 floormats, the 93 ground effects and grill opening (quality varies widely) and the rims (abet in different offsets). The pictures I have seen of the floormats show a pretty nice product. The body parts are hit or miss. And I have not seen the rims in person.

I don't usually buy parts off of ebay for the very reason that you are never really sure how bad they have been used or if they are genuine parts or not. I buy stuff off of ebay all the time tho. just not car parts. I did buy my 02 GT off of ebay LOL! don't know if that would be considered car "parts" or not *heh*. I have seen too many articles about counterfeit parts and substandard parts that should have been destroyed but wind up on ebay and the like to trust someone, or a company, I don't know.

Cheers, RDJ
