Do not order this type of grille.

I got this off of ebay. It said it was quality stuff. I have had it on the truck 6 months and had to pull it because of rust.

 

Looks like it had a pretty awful coating on it. I guess there's a good reason why the popular ones are so expensive (and why I don't have one).

 

These my friend are amazing pics.

Well this was a 300 dollar grille.

 

Hopefully it didn’t cost too much because that’s terrible

 

Thats what I paid for my BAMF grille, a reputable vendor.

 

What did it look like on the truck?

 

poor coatings can be fixed at home less then 50 bucks to pay someone to sandblast it. get all that nasty cancer off. then repaint it your self with some quality paints. totally salvageable.

 

What he said !!!

 

OUCH!

Sandblast it and have it powder coated.

 

Ouch! Post up a link of the product.

 

300 bucks and doing this after 6 months - yup I'd be pissed too.

 

That sucks man. Hopefully u can salvage it.

 

All it probably took was a rock and then the stock powdercoat/paint chipped. I’d try and pull a warranty claim if there is a warranty see if they cover it, but it’s probably “everyday wear”.

Unless you get a good deal on the powdercoat job it might be more than it’s worth it to have it blasted/coated.

 

You can fix that with 15 minutes of sanding and epoxy paint but.... $300 for that? What were you thinking? It's just regular sheet steel cut with a waterjet. $50 tops.

You can get customcargrills to send you powder coated stainless mesh pre-cut and bent to fit in one of about 50 patterns for under $100.

 

thanks for the heads up.I will not order one. I will keep my stock grille and save the $300.00 for tint or apply it to a set of sliders.
