The way the factory ones are woven, it 'almost' looks like a brick pattern (staggered rectangles).

Yours is definitely not stock looking, but still doesn't look bad...

What's the auction link? Does it claim to be an exact match for the factory screens?

Wow that sucks! The pictures on the auciton do show the "brick effect" I'm talking about. Maybe the guy switched materials when the price of steel went up... If they're coming apart, I'd send them back. $79 is a lot to pay for cheap knockoffs that really ARE cheap... I paid $92 for my factory ones on eBay...

im discussing the "defectiveness" with the seller right now, he says he "will send another set" since the other pair sucked. Now im just waiting for his reply because he couldnt understand what i ment about the screens not looking totally ZO6ish. If he does send another set, and they are correct, ill be very happy. After all $85 is a lot for some screens, and his profit margin is probably in the 90% area...

(update, he confirmed that he is sending a new set. Good guy to work with, and answered my email almost immeadiatly! im sure that the falling apart issue is just a defect with this one set)
