Have any of you guys bought these ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-17-...53.m1438.l2649

I am curious about the quality and are the vents they are painting oem parts ? They will paint as you request . I just thought ruby red with black background would look nice on my truck .

 

I have used that seller several times. All OEM parts and excellent quality paint work.

 

350$??? thats a nice profit margin. I pulled mine off and painted them friday. Light sand, clean with degreaser, adhesion promoter spray, finish color spray, clear coat spray, re install. :shrug: all done via rattle cans in the garage. I did break one tab removing driver side vent though, so a new set definitely has that advantage.

 

I agree, do it yourself for that price; with that kind of money you can get custom vents from these guys:

I more than likely will be purchasing these. automotive paint ain't cheap, doubt you will find a body shop that would do it for less. also, 2 color process in these is time consuming while keeping the pebbled plastic background. not trying to knock anyone, to each their own, but I don't want to rattle can body parts on a $80k truck.

 

you can buy automotive paint in a rattle can :shrug: also 80k for my work truck? naw. lol

 

They are a little pricey , but they do look nice . Thanks for the heads up !!!

 

I agree . I have tried the rattle can , but trying to match the rr is a pita because of the tinted clear coat . I'm not a rich man , but I think I will put a little back to purchase these at some point in the future .

 

I too looked at those on ebay. But ended up taking everything off and taking it to a local paint shop. Worked out better for me, because I wanted a lot more than just emblems done. Here's how mine turned out. I contemplated doing the F250 in red too, but backed out. And glad that I did after seeing them done this way.

You can make spray paint look like it was sprayed with a $1000 hvlp gun if you take your time.
