Tailight guards

[T4Rsoldier04]

I know that some people have mixed feelings on these, but I want a pair. I go some off ebay and they wouldn't fit. Even bought another pair from them and no have paypal claim against them. Anyways, I want a pair of black ones. Anyone know of a bran that makes them and they FIT! I know manik makes them but they are moving their facility and not shipping anything.. any other ideas?
I have heard polar bear does and waag does.. but the quote I got ont he Waags was very high and the Polar Bear were not so bad, but I wanna make sure they FIT!

I got the maniks (chrome).
I think all of tail light guards needs some minor adjustment to the attached brackets (tabs) in order for them to fit correctly. Also, I hope you know that you gotta drill in to the tail light housing. (However this is very minor and the drill hole does not penetrate in to the sealed light compartment, only i to the housing frame. Hope you know what I mean.

Nope they do not have separate tabs, the tabs are welded on the guard. The tabs have to be bent (and sometimes reshaped) in order to get the proper fit.

I got the Maniks off Ebay and they were a PITA to install thanks to the tabs. They apparently "eyeball" the weld spots.

It took me a few hours and lots of "bend the tab, try to install, find that its not lined up, remove, bend tabs another way, try again" before I got it right.

They do look good once carefully aligned.

Good luck.
