was showing a friend of mine my lower bumper grille, and i find out that my grills were rusting on the corners!!!!

I have only had these grilled for two months. It sucks man!!! Whats up with that? Does anyone have this problem, and did GrillTech compensate for it?

 

It doesnt surprise me at all. We've had quite a few people who are in the same boat like you.

if there is no compensation..... any ways to fix the problem? I know its too late to put on rust proof coating...

 

That's what I've heard in the past. So, I didn't buy the grille tech. Does anyone make a similar grille that is rust proof?

 

Mine rusted like an iron nail. Threw that crap out. Someone on here told me they now have an "improved process" or some crap to prevent rusting. But that was 8 months ago, and if yours is only 2 months old, then I'd say all they improved was their sales technique. Call and comlain if you want; I didn't find it worth my breath since any new one they would send me would just rust as well. And I don't feel like painting a new one. You shouldn't have to fix someone's product because they didn't make it right in the first place.

 

sucks... totally sucks.... hmmm i wonder if painting it back to silver will do anything, or maybe use the touch up paint to fix that problem, but you know what GrillTech just lost another customer. it was nice for awhile, but this sucks

 

Join the club. I tossed mine...go with JMSproducts for a better grille.

awesome dude, thanks

 

Mine looks orange its so rusted.

 

If you do feel like fixing it, just take a wire brush to it, clean it up real well, then spray paint it a metallic silver color w/rustproof paint. I did that just b/c I'm too cheap to buy another grille from another co. & it does look good spraypainted.

 

I just hate how Grille-tech punked out on their crappy product. I was helping them with their products till I saw the crap that they are selling to us. No one should buy anything from them .

 

oooooo so i smooth out that rust with the wire brush (lol), then spray paint, and then rust proof it? ok... gonna try this, gonna suck because im putting money into this grille again. oh well, i can always tell people i got a orangey brown grille to match the rust on my rotors.......

 

My chicken wire gutter grille seems to be holding up just fine....five dolla make you holla at the friendly local neighborhood depot.......

 

damn- every month or so someone has to post this and remind me of my rusty azz grills- if you dont clear coat the life out of 'em before install they'll rust

 

Mine rusted too. I finally took mine off

 

Same thing with mine after last winter. I did the wire brush thing, primed and painted them with silver wheel paint. So far, so good. We'll see what happens this winter. My sig pic shows the painted grilles.

I got no satisfaction from customer service at Grille Tech. I will not buy anything else from them.

 

Happened to me too. Sent them 2 emails, no reply. Fukk Grille-tech

 

sorry to bring out the rusty grill again, but thanks for the feedback, im going to try out the brushing, and paiting, and priming, and all that other crap. Kinda ****ed but hey what can I do?

 

Does the rubber edge on it , come right off ?

 

High priced gutter guard..If you clear it from day one..it will help. I think it is just some cheap steel that has been galvanized.

Brush and paint with rustoleum

 

Mine was stuck/glued on pretty tight so I just masked it off when I painted it.

 

That looks really good on your car!!

 

Masking it all off is a huge PITA, but trying to get that rubber strip off is even harder. I got the idea from Bluesbrekr also after seeing how nice his looked painted.

 

I might just take them off and stomp on them to get my anger out.....seems easier than painting them !

 

Thanks, *****. The pic is a bit decieving. The sun is shining on the grille, so it looks a bit more 'silver' than it really is....but it does look better than it used to.
