I cannot tell if this applies to the bar shown, but I found that the aftermarket bars fall down in the area that surrounds the blinker and fog light / grill. If you are using genuine fog grills or fog lights the moulding must be exact to work properly. Also they often do not put any depth into the air dam sections and don't mould in the mount points that mimic std connectors on the sides of the bar. Its not that they are bad bars these areas are darn hard to do for low cost.

I decided to try something different and fixed up and old fibreglass replica I had laying around. I cut out the sections for fog light / blinkers and the mount points from an old genuine bar that was trashed and added in the extra depth into the air dam... so its identical to an original one..

Whatever bar you buy I suggest you get close up pics of these areas so you are not surprised. Some people don't care about these bits, others like me want it to work like the original one.

Regards
Gavan
