I Got the Real Wheels Chrome Hood Panel - Buyers Beware...

[H3 Buyer to be?]

Hey guys, yes I know I sold the H3, but I have a deposit on another one with the Lux and offroad packs. I hope the gearing will help the pep a little...

Anyway, I thought you would like to see the RealWheels Stainless Hood Panel, it is nasty in my opinion... It comes not in one part like I thought, but it is actually strips of steal with some tape on the back. I also bought the front bumper overlay thinking it was similar to the chrome grille that is on there aready. Maybe a one piece chrome tape on full bumper cover, and of course it is not...

Here is a link to what I ordered and got in (wish this pic was online before I ordered it...).

I did not install it, so it is just sitting on there. Also it does not even cover the whole panel :-(

That really looks cheap and ugly! Thanks for the heads up man! Now you can go ahead and return it http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

It is very nasty... I can't wait to tell them how ****ty it looks... I will need a new tire cover, and some other items for the new one, so I will exchange them if possible.

Are you sure??? In my opinion, nothing looks as bad as that plastic vent on the hood. It's not even functional! I just ordered the stainless kit from them, but mine will have billet aluminum handles on it, so it looks similar to my H2. I saw it at the dealership, and the only thing that will look better might be their solid billet one, but it might be a little too pricy for me.

When you said it looks "nasty", I thought you liked it. I'm glad to hear you say it looks like crap. I can't believe they would sell that junk. I like the stock look but if bling is your thing, I'd go for a solid billet or chrome replacement with handles.

H3 Buyer,

Let me first say, that I sell the Real Wheels line for both the H2 and the H3. We have been selling them for years now, and have not heard of product not fitting even once that I can remember.

I would certainly contact the person who you bought them from and ask for a replacement cover - as this simply does not add up. Obviously, if you do not like the product, that is one thing. Again, I am surprised to hear that is does not fit.

One of the best things about Real Wheels is their customer service, I am sure they will rectify your situation in a manner that you will be pleased with. Even if you did not buy from them directly.

If you do have any trouble with this, certainly feel free to contact me and I will do what I can to help.

Regards,
Jason

I've been wondering which dealership or aftermarket company that you work for. After watching your supposed buying & quick selling(http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif) of an H3 I'm starting to think it's an aftermarket company more than a dealership.
Only a matter of time until the truth is revealed.

Jason, it does not cover the entire part is what I meant, looks very cheesey... And I think the look is no good...

[PARAGON]

Did you not look at the picture or even ask about it before you ordered it. It's obvious it doesn't cover the black edge in the picture on their site.

It looks like whoever installed it on your truck did a shoddy job. Much of this shiny stuff is nothing but stick-on and people and have been buying it and sticking it on their trucks and cars for years.

not steer of the topic of the Hood panel, Question, Why did you sell your first H3 and opt to go to the adventure pack, just curious, Thanks, jk1165

Check the discussion, I did not install it because it was crappy looking, I want to return it so I laid it there to take pictures...

I went with the LUX and the Offroad pack, not the adventure. Reason was I wanted the gearing to be adjusted for the 33" tires. I am hoping the gearing will help a little with the pick up. That is the only reason.

Simple rule of thumb here:

Beware of parts that say "applique'" or "overlay". It's just stick on stuff and you probably won't be happy.

I'm sure, as Jason said, RW's will work with you.
