    has anyone with the black aries had issues with it chipping and rusting easy. I bought mine on dec 25th and installed it at the end of january and 3 weeks later it looks like it has rust zits all over it. All the factory could tell me is wax it and touch up the paint. Well they dont sell touch up to match and its been below 20 degrees so not much waxing to be done.

    What have any of you done to keep your bar looking new?

    I installed my black Aries on 1/12 and haven't noticed anything like that. This could be due to the fact that I live in a very dry climate, however. I'll have to take a closer look at it this weekend to see if there's any signs of that.

    I'd be pissed if I saw that.
