The etching is performed with a special template sticker and an acid based fluid from a roll-on applicator. There should be zero problem's with any corrosion.

I dont mind the glass etch, its the "Wheel Etch" that upsets me. I put a down payment on my 11' FX4 so my dealer could get it from another city, so I never seen the truck until I picked it up, everything was done, paperwork, insurance etc, so I wasnt aware of the etch work...

I would have a f---ing fit . I have never had an Insurance company ask me if i have vehicle etching, and then offer me a discount. Post some pics if you can.

I'd be demanding other wheels or another truck. I'd love to see pics. Email them to me and I'll post them for you. I'll send you a pm on how to post pics.

The window etching looks good and is done right, but the etching on the wheels looks like someone heated up a fine tip screwdriver and just did it in their own handwriting. Ill take some pictures tomorrow and try to post them...
