I guess I assumed way too much giving how everyone raves about baddads stuff, just assumed it would be spot on.
I'm sure others may have had a different experience, but my experience with Advanblack was phenomenal. I made a mistake on my order and noticed I selected the wrong color for one of the items. A quick phone call and it was taken care of. Great guys there by my experience. One would think that with the prices BadDad were charging, such attention to detail would be reasonably expected.

I also had a bad experience with a Bad Dad console on my 2017 Road King. Fitment was way off and the the part was pricey. Won't be recommending them. I ended up re-working my stock console (removed insert/re-painted). You live and you learn, I guess.
