Yeah, I saw these on eBay, just didn't know if they'd be as good. I guess for only $15 they're worth a shot.

Thanks

I actually got one from pep boys yesterday. I was sick of mine dinging all the pipes in the underground garage and didnt want to wait for one to be shipped. I got it for around $15 i think.
