A 3rd party made bar will always have imperfections.
It's NOT OEM.
And if you look hard enough at the OEM bar, there will inevitably be slight imperfections there as well. Just less than 3rd party ones.
We always praise the work of the bodykit maker but just as important sometimes is the panel beating shop that installs the bars for you. There are small tricks these people can play to put the bars into position and make the imperfections less obvious.

I need to take it back to the installer to have another bit put in...so I was going to see if he could improve those areas. I just put the pics up because I know a few members who want this bar and I told them id take pics to help them make their minds up
I don't regret buying the bar...and have nothing against bodykitskingdom

panel shop can easily fix the side kicks out near the wheels with a heat gun, just need to do it slow not to damage the paint, I got the panel shop to fix most the the imperfection before the paint during test fitting stage.

It's not too bad but personally i wouldnt be happy with that. I'm glad i don't go along the line getting bodykits etc, if I do it's thru the dealership

I know where you are coming from...but I didn't buy it cos I thought it would fit better...I bought it cos I didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on something I can get cheaper..id pay it if I thought it were necessary
