A couple years back I bought a front bumper and headlight rings for my '69 bug, EVERY time it rained they turned orange with rust! Very poor quality but what can you really expect for $19 bumpers. Recently I gave them another shot, I bought a gas tank for a old Willy's Jeep,JCW was the half the price of the other vendors and the quality was good. I guess JCW is like a box of chocolates... you know the rest. RJ.
