    The one from ebay is a piece of junk. It's just an off the shelf plate made for center mounting that some kid sprayed a single layer of paint on that doesn't even come close to matching the OEM. I got one and it came it with its shoddy paint job and was warped along the top and didn't even come close to fitting up the way he said it would.

    I ordered the OEM Evo braket from my dealer the next day. It should be here Tuesday, I wish I went that route to begin with.

    not to rain on your parade scotty but the ebay guy said it doesnt match the OEM color it to be darker. But if you dont like the color why didnt you just paint over it :cry: to each his own I guess. Well if you live on the east north coast I will buy it off you?

    I looked into the EVO one but I didnt like the fact that its OEM EVOX position hangs slightly lower covering the fog light a little.

    Zerocool, thats the ebay one right? how hard was it to install? just a simple power drill in and thats it?

    and I really wanted to know what bulbs you have in there for fogs; are they yellow? and what HID unit headlights did you have? if you dont mind me being a little nosy

    Congrats...Looks real good. Nice job.

    And to mischief, i just covered it up with vinyl but thats only because i didnt know what to use to cover it up. But now i know. If u want u can use these plugs to cover up those holes. Heres the link.
