I read alot of complaints about the hardware, but i think the hardware looks fine. They may have changed it, not to sure. Rear rubber pad could be like 1/8 thicker. Caps could incorporate a raised bump to lock in the caps vs just 2way tape. Paint is nicer than expected an the matte finish on the cross bars an bracket is decent to. I wiuld recommend this product and purchase again.
