Yep that is the fiberglass re-pop. No unicorn blood there. Um, disagree on that. Tough to bend out of alignment (damage) like that one is showing if it's fiberglass. Description also says 'blasted down to bare metal'. thoughts?

Is this one of those moments where you wonder if you're actually the crazy guy in the discussion despite all available evidence?
1) media blasting fiberglass down to bare metal would be an awesome trick. Maybe he was lying or confused? Visual evidence indicates metal and not fiberglass.
2) Says it was original (I know, it's ebay).....Maybe he was lying or confused?
Harold, I've used tons of your posts as reference material, but I just don't see any evidence that the baffle I linked was a glass repop.

Right. Sorry. I read the item description and it said remanufatured. So I assumed it was the repop. Sorry. Guys. I did not read further down after that. Wow how did it sale so cheap.

This is for you just so you do not keep strutting and I'm not as blind as you maybe. It does say remanufactured which I saw and ignored the rest of the description. Here I'll highlight it so you do not miss it with your blind eyes, Yes it is a real one. I stand corrected like I said before. But you don't have to be so arrogant, my god it is just a piece of metal. I don't need for you to keep correcting and you don't need to keep sending PM's with the same info.
