That does look way better. You ought to send that company that ripped you off doing shotty work, an e-mail with the work you did. My god, I would have been livid, if I had gotten my parts back looking like that!!
Just out of curiosity, and you don't have to answer, I would understand if you didn't. But what did that place charge for the tailgate band? And what was the name of the place? I would want to make sure no one else sent their parts to them, jeez.
