I don't understand the problem you might have with it. It's explained and you can buy it or not buy it.

Someone disagrees. He/she has already placed a bid on it. With some new chrome plating, they may end up with a bargin.

If I had factory mufflers on, and for <$20, I would. I've seen these items for sale for major $$$! With a little work, this piece will look just fine.

I think it would take so much work to make it look presentable you may as well buy a new one.

Powdercoating would be a good option. Can't beat the price for the plate though.

I can't seem to get past the thought of what the rest of this guy's cars must have looked like. His exhaust plate makes it look like he had a habit of backing over livestock and mailboxes.

I do give him credit for appearing to run an honest auction and not attempting to misrepresent the condition of the item.
