E&G Painted Fender Flares - Anyone use these

[Huck BB62]

The E&G kit comes with, and without the mud flaps. You can get them with mud flaps and they seem to do a good job (search this site, there's pictures) They look tough too.

My problem? I called E&G. They said "We don't sell to the public, you need to call our distributor" and they gave me a phone number in our area (LA, 145 miles from us) I call 'em. They said "We don't sell to the public, you'll have to call our distributor" I'm thinkin' WHAT, AGAIN!? FINALFRICKINLY, I get a guy that'll sell 'em to me. Just under $300 freakin' dollars. That's stupidmoney for a few hunks of molded plastic that probably cost 'em $30 to make. It's been stepped on TWICE.

On to my main point. Say I liked these things enough to buy 'em (I decided that I can just wash the damned H3 about a hundred times for that kind of money) you'd think since they have such a fine and protected distributorship that if I wanted them, they'd have them in stock? Well, you'd be wrong!

It gets stepped on TWICE and they said that they'd have to ORDER them and have them drop shipped to my house. What kind of lame krap is that? I gotta pay two friggin' middlemen to make a phone call that I already made? Nope, just for GP, I ain't supporting that krapola.
