Message	I had them on my car for about 4 months and they got rusty as hell. Piss poor chrome job on the parts and the jam nuts are covered in rust too. I just finished installing all sorts of SPL goodies in the back and will probably do the same in the front when I get around to it. I hope to never see any rust form on my SPL equipment.
