So I've always liked the looks of the BBK cai, and just got my disputed speeding ticket thrown away so I figured I'd treat myself For those who have one, does the finish hold up over time or does it blemish? How's the overall fit and finish/ quality of the piece?

It will last forever if you keep it clean, the logo will fade but the chrome will look good forever, if u take care of it

a little polish goes a LONG way. they tend to pit/rust/fog up if you neglect them but it doesnt take much effort to polish one

I bought the Summit Racing fenderwell CAI YEARS ago, and I never do anything but wipe it down with a rag from time to time and the finish is still mint. No waxing, polishing, anything. I do garage the car year round though, never sees snow or ice, and gets rained on maybe once a year, when I screw up and forget to check the weather.
