Default Warning - E-autogrilles and paramount-automotive

So that someone might not make the same mistake I did. $600 down the drain. Don't believe me or what I say, look at the pics. The thing should come with a tetanus shot.

Looks like ****...

I know its not what you wanna hear but my advice is pull it off, get it sandblasted then powder coated.

Hey man, I’m on your side here but you don’t have to flood the site with threads in every section.

Thanks everyone, i appreciate the support. I was open to a refund or even an exchange but they stick by their warranty period. There is obviously a production issue and a lack of long term customer satisfaction.

Morris, i know you are on my side and to your point maybe I did flood things a little bit. My only hope was that I save some heartache for a fellow vehicle and truck lover like me. I wish someone would have warned me. With so many sections I didn't know which single location was ideal.

I am going to look into the blasting and Powder coating but man, it really sucks to have to spend more money on this. Last thing I ever buy from paramount-automotive and e-autogrilles.

Sorry AricsFX.......yes the lights did not make it well either. I was going to go with Rigid's but decided to stick w/paramount-automotives kit......2nd mistake. Again, not my words....you noticed it in the pics without me saying anything. The paint off and water in the lights is ridiculous too. I got so focused on the ugly bumper.

How long did it take to rust from time of installation?
