Jim:

I have them on my car and as I said, I bought them from a supplier on E-Bay about a year ago...

They fit like crap...You have to put them on and take them off about 6 times to fit, file, drill,fit, file, drill, fit, file...I finally got them to look decent but...

I do not remember who the manufacturer was, but it seemed like a small mom & pop type deal...Just don't remember...

Plan on a lot of fitting...And I don't think it necessarily was poor manufacturing or molds but rather due to the fact that all cars are just a little different...The finish surface was good enough, just did not fit the mounting holes and bumper correctly...

2-OH!
