So, I gave them a once-over yesterday after I got home. They're about what I expected; the paint is a bit thin, the welds are trade school quality at best, and the bar has a few gaffs in it where the bending equipment was clamped onto it. But TBH, I couldn't care less as long as they do what they're supposed to do. They're no worse looking than any of the other OEM suspension parts under the car, and since I DD my car year-round in the rust belt, paying lots of money for some suspension eye candy is kind of stupid. I might rattle can them with another layer of paint just to give them a little more protection, but honestly, it's not going to make a huge difference. I've had top-tier aftermarket suspension components on other cars, and they still look like shit after 2 winters, so worrying about looks is pretty pointless. Function first, for me.
Hopefully I'll get time to install them this weekend.
