New Stuff

[VeeWdriver@aol.com]

I just got my new front mesh grill for my Rocco 2.  It's the one that Rapid 
Parts sells from JE Designs ($159, yikes).  Well, first of all, it's made for 
the Euro bumpers, which I don't have.  I had to trim the little braces for 
the trim piece between the bumper and the grill to get the bottom part of it 
to fit.  I also (and I hated to do it) had to trim about 1/4" off of the 
metal support for the hood safety catch because the grill wouldn't go in far 
enough.  Then when I tried to drill the holes for the mounting screws, the 
thing cracked like you wouldn't believe.  Really brittle fiberglass there.  
Anyway, I got it all mounted and it looks OK.  I'll have to take it off again 
to paint it since it's just gel-coated white right now.  

Like I said, it looks OK, but, I don't think it's worth what I paid for it.  
Maybe $69 or $79 bucks or so would have been worth it, but, not $159.  Too 
late to send it back now though since I already cracked the damn thing 
(luckily it's underneath where you can't see it when it's mounted).

Just thought you all might like to know since somebody else already 
complained about the JE Design taillight filler panel.
