CAtuned Offroad

Be warned, the LC250 ditch light brackets from CAtuned offroad will require cowl modification to your vehicle in order to work. I reached out to them and they said that the ditch light brackets would work for the GX550. I ordered. Received. You will need to be prepared to cut and cut on your cowl to make them clear. A member did a great job cutting to get his to fit. I was not interested in cutting up a brand new vehicle and notified CAtuned immediately that they would not fit and needed cutting. They do not work with you at all and will charge a 15%+ restocking fee. I would tread lightly with this company.

What's that fee amount to in dollars?

 

[jmercer46]

About $15.00. Not a huge deal price wise. There customer support was trash though.

Let all the facebook groups know - hit them where it hurts. If they advertise something for this specific vehicle and it doesn't fit, then they should go out of their way to take it back, not charge you for it. I'd light them up online until they contact you to give you your money back.

I was working directly with the owner on IG and emails initially. He does not care. Super shady. Although, I feel like the make legit products. Just poorly run. I did bring in a ditch light mount from SDHQ and a totally different experience. Awesome people!

Max is an amazing guy and owner at CAtuned
Any interaction with him directly is fantastic. I got his brackets for my GX and yes modification to the cowlings is required but the look is way better than any alternative out there IMO.

That's who I dealt with. Unfortunately, I can not say the same. Horrible. I have dealt with his brother on BMW parts for CA tuned and he was great. This guy, bad from start to finish. I am glad you had a great experience. Maybe he hates people from MT!!

Unfortunate, but who knows

I got mine from sdhqoffroad.com and they were very up front about the cutting and are thinking of offering a laser cut replacement. They do for the LC 250.

Thru also say many people break those collecting them off do suggest buying replacement ahead of time and returning it if not needed.

I agree. SDHQ was awesome! I got mine in and waiting for the laser cut version also. Looks factory when installed from what I am seeing. Plus their support is amazing.
