I have a black full phantom T-Rex billet grille which I
LOVE how it looks and I had mine installed for about a month and half, took it off last night to install a clear bra..Keep in mind I detail, not wash..but detail my car every week..I spend a good 4 hrs on it, so its not as if it trapped a bunch of debris and sat there.
Anyway, once I removed the grille i discovered some pretty bad gouges in the paint from where it rubs on the inner lip of the bumper. Its almost symmetrical a few inches from the center on both sides, the pix I took are pretty forgiving from what it actually looks like..I was in a garage and a cellphone cam with no flash etc..
I contacted T Rex today and let them know about the issue in their design.
I will post up their response, if you have one or plan on installing one soon my suggestion is get some clear bra, some vinyl or some weather stripping..anything to protect the paint from the bottom edge of the grille..they look great but are dangerous to the paint.
