Frequently asked questions

What colors are available?

Is this part stronger than the stock plastic one?
6061 aluminum is significantly more rigid and less prone to flexing than the plastic factory part. It should hold up better under hard landings and aggressive driving, though individual results vary based on use.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
The product details do not mention included hardware. You may need to reuse the screws from your original part.
