Review on 96134K Bowtie Grille Emblem Border by Virgilio Feliciano

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nice try, but they don't fit right. Poor workmanship and lack of quality control.

They were listed for my 2013 Malibu LS. I checked this with the fit guide. But when you get them you'll find that the angle of the emblem doesn't match that on the car, so they look bad and have a gap at the top center that collects dirt. They are incorrectly manufactured as they do not match the factory emblem. If you think they look good and fit right, you will be disappointed. Just an update, based on some measurements the center of the emblem is about 1/8 - 3/16 inch higher on center. I called and they wanted me to send pictures. I think I made a good attempt to ask about the fit. I feel this shows distrust of the buyer and why the product cannot be tested before purchase is strange. The paint peels off very easily, a sure sign that the aluminum hasn't been treated properly. I've been painting for almost 40 years. I've seen this before. Added update from 08/23/2015. I decided not to waste money sending them back. I have a good friend who took them and milled them to fit properly. Unfortunately, this product is not very well made. The manufacturer seems to think they're fine, but you can find them and see for yourself. Good luck with the return. I also primed them with the correct product and repainted them with a high quality semi-gloss varnish. black color. Looks 100% better than the original product. It finally looks like the right fit.
