I purchased a PG Classic Air Grabber Bubble & Door and it was a total piece of junk. The bubble was not even close to the original part. The air box door has stress cracks out of the box. The fiberglass in the middle of the bubble sags down 3/4 of an inch from where it should be. The contour of the bubble is incorrect as it dips down instead of arching up. The bubble weighs over 30 lbs by itself and adding filler to try and correct the defects would only make it heavier. I doubt the stock hood hinges would even support the weight.

Further it cost $150 USPS to ship from Canada to US. Then upon the return, it cost $125 USPS to ship back. PG Classic would only accept returns via USPS which to Canada means you have to ship it priority $$$$.

They have been like that for years but people keep buying them...Sorry that it costs so much for nothing. Alot of these chinese parts are just close enough to be wrong but yet most brag about them. Just an FYI it is also the same one BE and A has and many other dealers that sell PG's parts so do not think they get better from someone else. For what it is worth that is the best of the worst ones made....

Mike has the quality of the stinger piece gotten better? I know the one I saw a few years back it was not even as good as the PG - BE & A one..Thanks.
