65 Chrome Grill Match Up Problems

Travis,

Almost everything that I have bought from BROTHERS there as been something wrong with it. I bought a front bumper and bumper guards for my 60 and the bumper guards don't fit the bumber. They told me that the bumper guards only fit the original bumpers. Well I tried the bumber guards on a original bumper and it doesn't fit it either. So I suggest get your money back and buy one some where else. I was going to buy all my stuff for my restoration from BROTHERS but I'm not anymore!!!

65 Chrome Grill Match Up Problems

Well, BROTHERS is good about taking things back and refunding money I have to give them that because the bumber and bumper guards I bought it had been over a year since I had purchased them and finally decided to take them out of the box and I found out they didnt fit. I feel that I may have just had bad luck with BROTHERS. I haven't heard any bad things from BROTHERS from anybody else! If you can save yourself on shipping charges I believe I would just keep working with BROTHERS. If you decide not to keep buying from BROTHERS I suggest Chevy Duty! I haven't bought anything from lmc. I haven't heard anything about em either. Hope there product doesn't look as cheap as there catologe! Keep me posted on what you decide.

Thank You,
