The question I'm asking myself is, "how the fuck did they get into that state?"
Looks more like corrosion pitting than foreign object impact. Tape is pretty good at keeping bars in a state of permanent dampness if parked outside every day.
Seems a decent hypothesis, I did think it looked more like corrosion rather than crash damage, but have never seen bars corrode like that before (mainly because I don't keep anything parked outside all day, every day).
I've never seen anything like that. The question I'm asking myself is, "how the fuck did they get into that state?"
