    Allow me to introduce myself:

    New to me 2012 black 4wd access cab in Anchorage, Alaska.

    Looking at scoring a painted grill for it and ran across this:

    http://m.ebay.com/itm/221465159727?cmd=VIDESC&gxo=true

    Looks painted, but no emblem (no problem). Described as an aftermarket item, so guessing this isnt OEM quality. Anyone deal with these guys? I'd just paint it myself, but OEM paint for chip/scratch resistance would be nice.

    There are 2 ebay sellers that you should avoid, likely more, but these 2 for sure:

    autoparts.titan1

    autoparts.titan3

    One is in Chino CA; the other in Chino Hills CA - same operation.

    Parent company is DAX Autoworks - Chino CA.

    They sell for cheap and offer fast free shipping. Your parts arrives 3-4 wks. after it was supposed to if at all and in many cases is damaged. They seem to sell a lot of "seconds". My guess is they are buying them for cheap because they are damaged. Throughout the online conversation you have with them, they repeatedly blame the USPS when in reality, the USPS has yet to pick up the pkg.

    Yeah...I would check with the folks at Camelback
