    Wow, no bueno!

    Podwercoated aluminum grille here in Hawaii. No issues with rust, it rains every day. Drilled a hole for front camera, no rust...

    Any chemistry majors here? Or someone that can ‘splain rust corrosion? My aluminum grille is fine, no rust and clean. The presented grilles are surely corroded.

    Aluminium doesnt rust. The grille was powdercoated from factory but with the salt and rock chips, it is bound to happen

    I’m a NJ transplant, no road salt here in Hawaii.. No lava chips so far...Thanks for the insight.

    It’s garaged.. when it rusts from the sea/rain, I’ll put the OEM cheese grater back on.

    I’m still here. Honestly I’m not even offended, he clearly needs more than an inch to be satisfied. I’m just not the man for him. But if you’re interested, I can try to get his number for you. ;)
