I ordered a 100% perfect in shape and condition tailgate off of ebay a few weeks ago for a buddy of mine off of ebay. The shipping was like $100 and I paid the extra $5 for the insurance. The tailgate was shipped very late so I started a calim through paypal on it. He stated that he had no excuses and it was late but gave me a tracking number and I received it a few days later after that. Well with the claim still open I seen the UPS man pulling into my driveway so I went out there. The guy takes it out of the truck and kind of just plops it on the ground. I get ready to sign for it and he says that "Nope you are all set." Right there I knew that something was not right. The guy that I bought it from did not put insurance on the package since I didnt have to sign for it. I open it up and it was dented in 2 of the corners and one really nice dent on the side where the cable was under it in the packaging process. He did a really bad job packaging it and now I am stuck with a $500 peice of junk. I esclated the dispute into a claim and have not heard back from the paypal team and that was before C-mas. Any help on what I should do? Also what should I do if paypal does not do anything for this one? Thanks in advance.

Looks very nice!

So I am thinking of upgrading a few things. I was going to paint the grilles red and take out the grille insert. I was also going to upgrade the grille to an 06 grille. What do you think?

Yep that is right. Dam deer! Here is my post on it. http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.ph...864&hl=deer

Here are mine before the deer accident, new headlights, and the lowering kit.

Do you know for sure that it is tuned or maybe it has the factory tune in it still.

I am looking for an absolutely perfect red front bumper cover with original paint, and a grey drivers side fog light trim bezzel peice with no brokin tabs. LEt me know what you have.

I didnt mean anything by it. They really know their stuff and when it comes to their job they get it done right. Hopefully she will work with me. The only time I had a guy adjuster he told me that he didnt have a clue about the specific machine which would of been my snowmobile. Why would you not go with caliming it through insurance? Just wondering because it came to near $2000 with the rim.

Well I was driving along and of corse a deer decided to cross the road at the same time I hit the breaks but did not swerve or anything because I didnt want to hit a mailbox or roll the SSS. It is an 04 SSS red with only 30k on it. It looks like it barely did anything. It broke the tab on the driver fog light bezel/grey grate thing, very minorly cracked the bumper where the lower bumper grill and the upper big portion of the bumper meet which is the spot they leave black so it is not noticable, cracked the plastic inner wheel plastic and the bumper to fender gap filler, cracked the mounting tab on the headlight, and seems that it messed up one of my aftermarket giovanni rims. What should I do, and how should I go about talking to the WOMAN that is meeting me later this week to check it out? There is so much aftermarket junk out there that I dont want on my truck in place of the factory parts. Also if anyone has a link or the parts themselves I need that driver grey fog bezzel, red factory bumper and that is about it. Thanks for the help in advance.

When you do drop spindles do you have to realign it after or will it be the same? I think you have to realign it with the lowering keys but was not sure on the spindles.

Ok found what I was looking for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-07-CHEVY...sspagenameZWDVW Is that a good price?

Thanks everyone. Anyone know if they sell just the bumper grill peices instead of an entire kit?

I was going to try and find some incerts for the bumper so if you know where I can get just the bomper ones let me know. I was actuallly looking for black but red is nice too. I got a deal on it so I had to buy the red.

Well I can tell you that on ebay right now it seems that there are a million alone in Texas and Florida combined. Good luck.

LEt me know what you think, good and bad. Just so you all know I do have a 2 inch drop on the way so ill be putting thast on and updating in a few weeks. Other then that let me here it.
