Check out shipping...

Several folks have used it and have had lots of success. Its an ARB knockoff.

It will work and will not melt. They are knockoffs of the ARB done by the Chinese. It has been documented that these do fit and work. However, don't expect top of the line quality in fit or finish.

^^Sounds like you don't have any experience with them.

A moderator installed one on his XJ. Loved it.

Its worth what they are asking, and a way better value than the brand name version.

I wouldn't spend $350 on the ARB one either. I can't justify paying that much for twenty bucks worth of plastic and an ARB sticker.
