Let's face it - something cheaply made. It works too, so it's worth what it's worth. It will be under the hood, so no one will judge your color combination or choice of materials. I would love the metal minion's belt guides, but they work, so let's move on. The price and quality are reasonable for what you paid for and what you need them for. I wouldn't use them off-road as the power of all that pushing might be greater than what's needed. But they are good for the daily commute to and from work.
