The Uni gates are better than nothing to work with. If you are doing your own work (bodywork & painting) and don't count your hours you're okay. But if a good body shop is doing the work, you can almost figure an additional $200-$350 for labor, just to get it in paintable condition. There's a lot of grinding sanding and finessing. to get it ready.

I know I'm kind of stealing your thread but I've got a very similar question. How are those louvered tailgate cover from LMC truck? Or is there a better option? I'm thinking of ordering one but wouldn't mind an opinion of someone who's purchased one or maybe has pictures of it on a completed build.

I just sent back my 2nd non-uni tailgate to them. Metal thickness was good. Overall I was impressed but passenger side joint is completely cut wrong. Does not match driver side. They said this is the way they are. I’m not going to cut it apart to make it right after paying $475 for it. I’ll put the work into mine.
