I have an ADD stealth fighter an absolutely love it! ADD has awesome customer service and my bumper is extremely solid. It's also something unique and different.

So how is it holding up to all the road salt down there in GA?

I've had an ADD stealth on mine for 2.5 years and its great in the winter but buy it raw steel and get it sprayed with Linex and it will look like new for a long time. Any powder coated stuff will start rusting after one winter

I don't live in a heavy salt area, and I haven't had my bumpers very long.

I had seen some guys on here who had trouble with ADD bumpers rusting, so I got mine LineXed.

It presented some issues with the rear bumper. It was very hard to get the holes for the license plate lights, spare tire key, and backup sensor thin enough again. I spent a few hours with a Dremel trying to get it thin enough, and I gave up on the backup sensors. The little wings would never pop out, so I ground them out with the dremel. Really wish I had those spots masked.

Depends on the place doing it. The guys by me hadn't done a lot of bumpers, $250 for LineX premium (won't fade). Might be a little less somewhere that does more. He said most of what he sprays for a bumper ends up on the floor.
