... Don't feel bad... Even the brand new vehicles from the big 3 get parts from China... I bought GM performance parts right from the dealership last year and was upset to see "the tag" on the box...Just a slight feeling of betrayal..lol...

My .02, my bad experience with them is enough for me to steer anybody clear, because deep down, they are that company. Caveat Emptor.

I get it... I've yanked my share of ill fitting/ bad quality parts... And have learned to promptly throw them in the trash no matter what they've cost... I got tired of getting pissed off every time I'd come across them in the shop months or years after the ordeal...
