I bought this one. It is going back. It will fit, but it is not the same size! If you compare it to the entire bowtie piece, including the chrome part, it is at least an inch smaller. It was even smaller than just the gold upper piece! IMO it would look like crap.

Guy tried to tell me to put it on and then decide. Then kept insisting that it is the correct size for replacing the OEM. It took 3-4 emails to them to get them to accept a return.

Am I wrong, but if something is listed as a replacement part, shouldn't you be able to expect its the same size as what its replacing?

That's why we never sold them - even when we were a Precision Billet dealer.

Too many companies "making parts to sell" and not taking the time to make them right.

I tell ya - it's a wacky world!
