| 3. How much weight can these nerf bars and oval tubes support? |

| 6. Will installing nerf bars or oval tubes void my vehicle's rust warranty? |
| Almost all of ATA side steps and oval tubes bolt on to factory mounting points. These mounting points are the automakers approved place for attaching their own factory side steps. They will not void your vehicle's rust warranty. |

| 7. Does it require special care to maintain the finish on Stainless Steel? |
| No. They can be cleaned with mild soap and water and are safe to run through automatic car washes. We suggest a coat of wax on our products every time you wax your vehicle. |

| 8. What is the difference between Chrome and Stainless products? |
| ATA products are made out of a 304 series stainless steel. They are polished to a mirror like finish with our 5 stage polishing process. Chrome nerf bars are dipped into a chemical bath hopefully without impurities and then dried. Stainless steel does not peel, ever. Many customers think our products are chrome because of the high lustrous shine! |

| 9. What type of Stainless Steel do you use? |
| We use T-304 which has the highest chromium and nickel content of any stainless steel making it the most corrosion-resistant material in the industry. Be careful! Many other brands may use cheaper, different grades of stainless claiming that it will last the life of your vehicle. But in many cases these bars will start to rust only after 8 or 9 short months. |
