Your wrong. I had no choice. There are no other hardware stores near my area, and these were the ONLY shims they had. And apparently you missed the part where i said, "If i had access to a band saw....". Which i don't. I live in an apartment complex. Its not like i have a garage to store shop power tools in.
Oh BTW, the tail gate in those pictures is of my truck, a Ford Ranger. A vehicle that is still made here in the US, amazingly enough.

The first thing i looked at when i picked up those shims, was where they were made. It was the VERY first thiing i looked at. I looked around for a different pack, there weren't any. I walked up to the register cussing a mean streak.
