Anyone have experience with their grills or spoilers? Wondering about the longevity and quality of their products especially the painted ones..post your experience good or bad please. And any alternative companies as well

I had the rear window louvers and they were decent quality and looked good on the car. They didnt survive a local auto car wash with blow dryers though. came loose and flapped until the louvers broke in half. I may purchase again but would try their other products without much hesitation. I have zero experience with their painted products.

I have one of their grills for my 17 Civic Hatch, it came painted gloss black. The paint started fading and hazing up about 4-5 months after I installed the grill. My local body shop said the gloss finish was too weak to handle the heat from the front of car (engine, turbo ect) and this caused the gloss to fail. They suggested having the grill properly primed and painted with high quality paint that would better handle the heat and resist fading. The grill itself is good quality from a fitment stand point.

I bought a painted roof spoiler. Quality was decent but not a fantastic paint job.

How do the louvers attach and did they increase road noise? How long did you have them before the car wash incident?

About 3-4 months maybe. Attaches with nuts and studded base pads backed with 3m molding tape directly to the glass and comes with anti rattle foam for you to apply wherever needed. No increase in road noise as far as I could tell. I do wish it came in a bit thicker material.

You break some bumper clips?
Nope just doesn't snap in all the way..when It gets warm again I'll take the bumper off and glue it or 3m tape it to make sure it's flush
