THIS COULD OF ENDED VERY BADLY AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS PIECE OF JUNK. THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF, LOOKS LIKE NO PRIMER OR SEALER WAS USED IT LITERALLY IS FLAKING OFF ON THE HOOD AND REAR GATE RIGHT WHERE YOU WOULD PUT YOUR HANDS TO OPEN IT.

THIS VEHICLE IN MY OPINION IS A LEMON!! *TR
