Don---Modify a brand new $300 polished stainless part in my garage???? Not in this life!! I will carve away on my 3 year old KingBee headlights, (where it doesn't show anyways). The bit of carving I have to do won't show, and it won't prevent the KingBees from being used on an original "untilted" bar if I ever want to. As far as getting money back or exchange from a hotrod part manufacturer---not too likely to happen.
