I've never delt with Johnny Rosen but I had a similar bad experiance with
Mitchell Motor Parts. In addition several of my club members had problems
with misrepresentation from Mitchell's as well.
It seems that when I ordered a rear bumper for my Coronet which was stated
to "equal or exceed factory original quality", I got shafted with an
inferior part that had minor ripples and even a burn mark in the chrome.
You better believe that the Better Business Bureau heard from me, and
apparently from a bunch of other disgruntled customers, since they were in
the process of compiling a file on Mitchell's shady business practices.
Word to the wise: Only deal with businesses that friends would refer to
you.
