Poor Design Best in Exterior Accessories

could easily have been designed much better. I don't think they ever put one on themselves. Made changes to it and made it work properly. also, why don't they include plugs. very disappointed with the solid backbone.

Pros
  • Textured Black Powder Coat
Cons
  • Quality

Overall robust construction. However, you must remove the factory rear door vent to install it. (Maybe obvious to some, but not to me). This step is not mentioned in the installation instructions. If it wasn't for five stars.

Pros
  • Punched louvers restrict airflow
Cons
  • No

Pros

Cons
  • The list will go on.

I am very happy with it. Installation took about an hour. I was able to keep my third brake light with no rewiring or drilling, so good news. I was hoping to move my license plate to the new installation as well, but then realized I would need to install some form of license plate light as it is not supplied. I don't want to be stopped by the police, so the license plate stays. Otherwise, removing the spare wheel holder and keeping the existing third brake light is a pretty good option. It…

Pros
  • Kit available includes license plate and third brake light brackets (1158611)
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
