The **** at the dealership scratched my original aero deflector pretty bad and I wanted to replace it with a stainless steel one. Anyone have any idea if these are even made??

Thanks in advance.

stainless steel is a coating as I understand it.

soon as you scrape a curb or whatever, that thing will be trashed, and further, it will then rust like no tomarrow.

I believe stainless steel is an alloy, not a coating.

Either way if you're talking about replacing that little black piece under the nose it's going to be bent out of shape really quickly so I doubt anyone is offering them.

I just made the decision to buy another OEM Front Chin Aero Deflector. I was just trying to see if someone even offered this type of product. I think it would match up well with the courtesyparts.com stainless steel grille that I currently have on the car now.

I do see your point apsilon. Rocks and other debris would bang the heck out of stainless steel and make it look messed up.

The original dealership that I bought the car from grazed the deflector just a little and it never really bothered me until recently. I had another dealership, closer to my house, install free tires on my car, but in turn ended up scratching my rims again and scuffing the deflector pretty bad. I figure I should have complained with the original dealership first when they scrapped it. I'll replace out the deflector and if another dealership puts a scratch in it, I'll ask them to replace the part out from their pocket. The reason I wasn't an **** to the service guy was, he's pretty cool and said that he'd have his body shop buff out a bird **** stain. I got it on my car; washed and waxed the car; but the spot would not come off. That crap ate through the clear coat.

I remember some other member getting bird crap on the car and letting it go for a week, then ended up with missing clear coat. I only had it on the car for about 5 hours tops.
