grille-tech bumper inserts

I was going to order a grille tech bumper inserts from ebay auction but it says that its going to take 2-4 weeks for delivery. If I order straight from grille tech, will it take the same amount of time or less? And has anyone bought one from ebay?, did it really take 2-4 weeks? Thanks.

Do yourself a favor, and don't go with Grille-Tech - from all of the horror stories that have been posted regarding rusting issues, etc. on this board, it's a lot safer to go with the JMS one - http://www.jmsproductsinc.com/ - dont know if Street Scenes makes one for 02/03, but have heard good things about them as well (have them in my basement ready to be installed in a month or two).

NOOOOO...don't buy Grille-Tech. Even if they came the next day, they're gonna rust on you in the very near future. Guaranteed...

Mine took 2 weeks.

After 5 months they started to rust. So I sanded them down and repainted them.
3 months later....no rust.

But the JMS grills are ugly. It isn't two pieces but one whole ugly strip.

I've had both the upper and lower grills on my car since July. No rust at all.
