Here's my (completely unbiased?) opinion:

If your truck has a body line through the taillight (Nissan, Mazda, 1st Gen. S10), then the Grant fillers are a great way to go- they will save you time on bodywork, so if you have more money than time, go for it.
A stamping die can't make the compound curves as cleanly as Bob and the crew can by hand, so you'll always have more work to do with our fillers...

If your taillights have a simple shape, though, then there's not much difference between a hand-formed filler and a stamped one. In the case of the 94-03 S10, our fillers fit very well- only minor manipulation as you weld it into place.

Again, it's up to you whether the extra money is justified for the Grant pieces. They make beautiful parts by hand, and I would never take anything away from them in the quality department. However, if you're on a tight budget and you're willing to do a little more work, then ours might be the better option for you.

Of course, this is all just my opinion- and I'm the guy selling them, so take it with a grain of salt! But if you get a set of fillers from us, and you don't like them or don't think you can make them work, just call us up- we'll take them back as long as you haven't modified them!
