Well, you know what they say about things being too good to be true.

Surprise, surprise; the front bumper reinforcement that Rock Auto is selling for $18 isn't at ALL what they are advertising. I'm going to call someone over there and complain, because when you search their site for "bumper reinforcement" for a 2000 Isuzu VehiCROSS a picture of the actual reinforcement shows up, but what I got was this:







I don't remember EVER seeing this little gem on my VX anywhere. To tell you the truth I don't think it even belongs on a VX. The original sticker below the Partslink sticker in the fourth picture states that it is a "front support retainer bar replacement parts for Isuzu Rodeo/ Honda Passport 98". WTF!?

I think it's false advertising when a picture of our bumper reinforcement shows up on the website, but then this stamped steel P.O.S. shows up at my door....and it's not even for a VX. I'm not terribly upset; I mean I really didn't expect to get our bumper for $18 (and wouldn't really have wanted to use it if it actually WAS our bumper), but I am a little annoyed at how misleading the Rock Auto website is.

I'll let you know what, if anything, comes out of calling them on their B.S.
