I thought it was like $105 shipped. I know it was cheaper than Lextasy and theirs are plastic? Talk to either Steve or Gordon @ Carson...

MrSypher: You are partially correct. I had 2 black chrome trunk bars. The first one did "peel" the second one is the one you currently see and it has not peeled at all. I think the first one was not prepped correctly. Anyways, I have had no problems with my second bar since my initial complaint. The trunk bar is of excellent quality. It actually is an OEM one, it was the chroming process that was bad.

I really like how the Chrome trunk bar looked especially against a black car...



however, I would of loved to have gotten my hands on a black chrome trunk bar if I didn't go with the whole Junction Produce theme...

Cool trunk bar

well got the trunk bar installed on wifes car. man that is a must do improvement. the chrome is quite an accent to the paint. when i look at my car now i think the painted trunk bar looks very boring. i can't wait to do it on my car. $105 shipped good cheap mod.

i took some before and after pictures which are still stuck in the camera. they are the first two pictures i have taken with it.

if anyone could walk me through the process to get them on here i would be forever grateful. i am what i would call low expertise, beginner on the computer and don't understand alot of the terms about computers but am learning.

thanks ivan

I assume you can get the pics from your camera to your computer.

The quick and dirty way is to use the "Attach file" method by clicking the Browse button near the bottom of the post input page. Navigate to your image and select it. The problem with this method is there is a file size limit.

The better way to do it is to put the image in the gallery and link to it. This is also how you can put multiple images in the same post. Here is a thread detailing how to do it:

Good luck and get those pics here.
