Are the ebay grills up to snuff? No fitment problems? The grill pattern doesnt matter, Im cutting it out.

My tabs are all cracked and about to break, plus I want to paint the next one. No more chrome!

Just thought I'd throw this question out there, but do the ebay headlights line up like OEM? I'm anticipating a No, but I figured I'd atleast try.


I call my E0 Claire. 24 hour what? I'm looking to buy a like-new condition SVT grill, and a shift knob that works with the reverse lever PM me with the details.

No. The fitment isn't good, they normally tend to stick out on the outer ends of the lights. Not a nice fit at all.

Chris, I got my kid one of the Ebay grills about two years ago. It fit the car just fine. But, the black color on the rubber at the top of the grill peeled off. It was white underneath.

I've seen others post about Ebay grills and I have never heard anyone mention this problem before.

Nope, they just suck. Now get outta my thread!

Thanks Christine.

If you are getting them off Ebay than most likely they are aftermarket not OEM lights.

I've gotten a set for Contour and Mystique. No problems. Plan to get another set for my daughter.

If you're concerned, get some crash parts from Bill Jenkins - if they're still available... GREAT prices for factory Ford parts.



Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I got an ebay front center grill. I didn't have any fit problems. It wasn't very good quality though, I had to repair it a little before installing it.
