SMA Grill Guard Quality

  

NJTEX -> SMA Grill Guard Quality (6/26/2006 7:12:19 PM)

After leaning back-and-forth between Manik and OEM grill guards, I've settled on the SMA one. LOL

Just found out that SMA is no more. Does anyone know if the quality is good enough to consider purchasing one without a warranty? They're still in stock at several places so I'll need to buy very soon.

I know a couple people who have them and they are very solid.

i bought a sma guard a few weeks ago. i loke the look but, (and isn't there always a but) it was not welded right. it rubbed the hood on the drivers side. so i know a person who works for the tool room in my factory, and had him basically make a shim. looks great now. even though the hassle iw would still go through it again...

Looks good. Now I know how mine would look with the SMA. [sm=smiley20.gif]

BTW, my OEM guard had a similar problem. It sits closer to the grill on one side. So its not just an SMA issue.

Get the SMA well made and strong and the look speaks for it self .Also use the shims.

Where did you find the black hood handles? All I ever see are the chrome ones.

Yes I'm ok and so with the driver of the Honda. It was a double turn lane and we were both turning left, I was in the inside lane and she suppose to turn into her lane but instead she took my lane. Heck I almost didn't feel the impact.....lol

hood handles in black are at www.realwheels.com

NJTEX -> RE: SMA Grill Guard Quality (6/28/2006 7:15:25 PM)

Thanks everyone for the information. It's the SMA guard for me too then.

I like it because of it's unique "Hummer" look and the fact that it has proven itselt in battle. Thanks Green for doing such a complete test! [;)]
