N-Fab Rear Chase Rack / Light Bar rack

Overview: D-
Hows the quality? ...what quality? ...yeah that bad. Like almost comical it was so bad. Holes and flanges so far out of place it couldn’t be put together.
Would I buy it again? Not unless I was absolutely desperate
Does it look good? Yeah... at least there's that
Was it worth it? Nope.​

Review:
So thanks to the hurricane this year (i.g. the dilapidated house in the background), my welders were out of commission and I didn't really know anyone I could trust in the area to make a decent rear rack, soooo I decided to buy one. I liked the look of the Nfab one, but I always wondered why I never really saw anyone with one. Whelp I found out why not...
Apparently these are built by a bunch of blind monkeys. Ive fabbed a lot of stuff in my days, Ive seen the good the bad and the ugly, and this set the bar in both bad and ugly categories. They literally didn't even ATTEMPT to see if the parts would even remotely fit together.

The Good:
it looks pretty decent... , and its removable.
The Bad:
-So obviously the bar was going to mount to the bed top/sides, yeah I knew that, but it mounts on the tie down rails... with M6 bolts... that stretch all the way through to the fiberglass behind it... yeah, I could probably break the thing off with one hand if I used those, opted to use my rooftop tent mount bolts instead.
-Top mount holes did not line up, not by a little, but by entire hole lengths.
-The sides that were supposed to mount to the center, were cut SO POORLY that they literally didn't even fit inside the part that it had to bolt in. I had to cut off entire strips of steel in order to get them to even go inside (and no I didn't do it wrong, I triple checked).
-Wrong hardware, go figure. Again, Ive built a lot of things, I triple checked.
-The way they sat on the tie down rails, unless you have the front free float on the rails, it hits the bedside tops on a thin strip of steel thatd mess up the bedside cap. So had to cut that off.

The Ugly:
-The top edges were so bent from welding distortion, that they wouldn't let the mating part sit right.
-several brackets were bent, a LOT, not from shipping, we're talking pre-coating.
-The design has the aerodynamic part facing backwards (yes I'm absolutely sure) so it actually whistles a bit at certain speeds.
-The top light side brackets are welded on, so if you don't want top pod lights, you either leave the ugly stick out brackets, or cut them off.

Overall I would say it's an extremely poor design. I thought of 2 or 3 different ways they could have done it better for almost every spot. For what they charge for this rack it should have been FLAWLESS. It took 4 full hours of cutting, drilling, etc fab work to get this guy on.
It does look pretty good IMO, but definitely not worth the cost for the quality.

Good luck to anyone else who buys one of these, prepare to bust out the fab tools.

UPDATE: Already starting to rust in several spots, but other than that still holding together
