Evo corner guards

To get the gap tighter, I put my clamps on the angle section of the skin which brings that gap in.

Yup did the same thing forgot to mention. I had to get a large C-clamp for the bottom due to the lip.

For all of you who have these EVO corners, I have a question: the top little bracket/gusset with the hole in it, why is it only welded in one little spot at the opposite end away from the hole? After helping a friend install a set of these I was impressed with the strength of these corners, but the little tiny one inch weld that holds this top bracket on looks like it could be pulled right off if it were to have any sort of force applied to it. Does the gusset become part of the top of the upper bracket that holds the tire carrier on. It just seems like the gusset would break right off with the tire carrier attached to it. Or is the bracket/gusset just for looks?

It's an antenna mount if you don't have a tire carrier - NOT a part of the tire carrier.

Since you said "if you don't have a tire carrier" I'm assuming it won't work for an antenna mount at all if you do have the carrier. Just asking for future reference and I have never seen any of these corners and/or carriers in person just know that I want them and trying to plan ahead per say.

You can't get a 90 deg fitting small enough to fit in that gap between the antenna mount and the carrier hinge mount. I tried a couple CB shops without success.

I didn't like the look of them. They looked and felt cheap to me. I also didn't like that they didn't have backup lights or side markers, so at least side markers would have to be added to be legal where I live. Just my opinion though. Some people like them. I'm not one of them. I actually ordered the Trail Tail LED's within 24 hours of seeing the EVO's installed.

Just curious, what did you guys pay for an auto shop to paint them to match, and how much for powder coating?

I painted mine black at home. When I went to a shop to get them powder coated they quoted me 1500. I just left. Mine were the builder corners though. But I'm sure it doesn't make that big of a difference.

Powder coating cost me @70 a side.

I want the builder corners. Just not sure cause of the snow and mud here. I live in a mining town so I know how it is. Don't have a Powdercoating shop. But an auto body shop quoted me 4-600 for the pair.
