Most of Danko parts are made from the highest quality polyester based FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics) and are 100% hand laid. Danko plastic grilles and emblems are made of polyurethane plastics and hard urethane rubber.
WHAT KIND OF FINISH DO DANKO PARTS COME IN?
All of Danko handcrafted fiberglass and urethane products must be sanded, primed, and painted. They come in a semi-shiny black gel coat finish and may come slightly scuffed, have black or gray primer spots on the surface, or small protruding bumps or tiny chips on the ground fiberglass edges. These areas are generally superficial (only in the gel coat surface) and will disappear once sanded down. This type of required prep work is typical in the aftermarket fiberglass automotive parts industry. Danko urethane plastic grills may also require minor touch up if necessary and come in a gray or black raw material finish. Like all bare urethane products, they should be thoroughly cleaned of the mold release, and scuffed, primed, and painted with UV stable paint to provide protection from the elements.
WILL I BE REQUIRED TO TRIM THE PARTS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIT?
Danko does its very best to accurately trim each part to the exact shape for perfect fitment, however, it is still recommended to test fit all parts before painting as sometimes slight trimming adjustment may be necessary for a perfect fit.
DO THE MOUNTING HOLES COME PRE-DRILLED?
All mounting holes have divots and/or are clearly marked in the location to be drilled but they are not drilled. The installer must drill out the holes, so a drill and a 5/16" drill bit are required for installation.
CAN THE PARTS BE ORDERED PAINTED TO MATCH MY CAR?
Danko is not offering painted parts at this time unless Danko is doing the installation at its shop.
THE PART LISTED COMES WITH HEX MESH. DOES THE MESH COME PRE-ATTACHED TO THE PART AND PAINTED BLACK OR DO I NEED TO DO THAT MYSELF?
The Danko aluminum mesh comes standard in a natural aluminum finish. If you would like it painted black or polished, Danko can have it powder coated for an extra charge. The mesh or plastic inserts do not come pre-attached but are easily installed with JB-Weld epoxy putty available at any automotive parts store.
