buy the one form rock auto ive been buying tens of parts from them with no issues there is no need to pay twice as much money for a piece of plastic, i mean if its that poorly engineered that it wont even fit then rock auto wouldnt even be selling it.

LOTS of companies sell parts that dont fit, dont fit well. im not saying this one does or doesnt.... i was just giving him another option. i was gonna order this from sewell then decided on rock auto for the price then just decided NOT to replace it. its all good whichever way you go OP

D-BOI u trolling in here since u left us for the ES group now?
