Default Ordering Parts Online - Wait, It's Plastic?

My first thoughts when I received my order from PershingAuto.com. I ordered a headlight mount, header panel, and grill. All pieces were black plastic (unlike the fiberglass I assumed for the header panel like my stock part), and the header panel arrived cracked / broken.

http://www.pershingauto.com/new-headlight-mount-header-panel-9701-jeep-cher.html

The headmount, specifically, was $89.

Does anyone sell a fiberglass-made part?

Omix-Ada part #12035.24 should be fiberglass.

That was the same photo used in the Omix-Ada ad, Quadra could still have inventory.

So the parts are different? Or is the white grill support pictured above the one I'm looking for? See attached photo.

The Quadratrac one should be fiberglass & correct.
I would call them prior to ordering to be sure.

I ordered one from the same company (Pershing) and mine was fiberglass. I would complain if I were you...Tj
