Default costal metals bumper protector

Anyon else somewhat suprised at the fit and finish of the product? Now it does do EXACTLY what it say it will do as far as protecting the bumper, and it seems to be a nice sturdy piece, but the cuts on mine are sorta jagged, and the nylon trim at the edge is sorta warpy, it all looks a little "homemade" sitting on the car. I am pretty particular, so it could just be me, but did anyone else have these opinons?

Let me say that Costal metals was really cool about taking the item back if I decided I didn't like it too, I have it on the car and will drive around with it for a few days, see if it grows on me, also maybe that hot Texas sun will soften the trim up enough to let it form fit a little better.

I bought a "cooling plate" from them and I thought it was pretty cheesy as well but what do you expect for $30.

Yeah, the bumper protector costs a bit more than $30 bucks.

To the person with the spoiler splitter, once yours was on the car, does it look even, sit right, etc?

It looks good in mho, Fit and finish were very good. My car is GPW, so the black
splitter looks good with it.

Well I guess I am being too particular, b/c mine looks like that too, I just was expecting laser straight lines that followed the lines of the car exactly, and a more precsion cut along the back edge. but I'm sure it'll end up growing on me, and I don't feel like wrenching it back off in 102 degree heat
