Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Fit finishin general the chrome plating quality is poor with much peeling missed spots contaminated surface not prepped and uneven


Overall finish quality is relatively poor but if you are willing to do some work yourself they are a great value

Price

I sewed through 3 layers of 8oz leather which is a total of 38 thick without difficulty

I also retapped screw holes and found better hardware
