I can't believe how much you guys are knocking on this dude and even calling him stupid! 
He is far from stupid...
The people making and selling those are going after the market where the money currently is... and that is in aftermarket appearance stuff for 4 cyl import type cars or even the "non muscle" domestic cars.
While we F-Body dudes might not care much for it, it isn't pictured on an F-Body and instead is pictured on a Honda. It is, however, advertised for a F-Body... but, I give the guy credit for attempting to expand his market and at least attempting to sell these to F-Body guys. Look at how many feedback items this guy has... he is probably making more money selling these items we all laugh at than all of us make at our regular jobs
So, for that I give him credit. But, I still ain't sticking on of those on my car

Making money????
alright that guy has sold about 5 of those in a week, he selling them for like an average of $30 tops, say he's paying $20 each after shipping and buying it, so he's making $10 profit, oh boy he just made $50, man he's rolling it in big time, oh, i forgot he's got to pay his ebay dues and paypal dues and such, i guess he only really made about $40, forgot t subtract the additonal shipping suplies for single orders, and gas to get them to the ups or where ever, he must be making about $35 bucks a week, yeah, it's really rolling in bigtime, 
I think it funny, there's so many people on there selling junk and a lot of them loose their asses, because they owe ebay money even if they don't sell. I was actuallty surprised to see the people bidding on that crap, i emailed a couple and asked what the hell they think they were doing.

Whobetter... I was talking more about him and general and not necessarily that exact product that he has recently sold. He has like 5000 feedback items if I recall. So, he's evidently selling his items.
