just like harley, the radiator panels at removable and can be replaced with kuryakn or HD grills. Here is mine with the Kuryakn grills.
also, they ship them in nice boxes and I got mine in 4 days.

I put the Rushmore model lowers on my pre Rushmore Limited. Got tired of the sliding vent always breaking and rattling like crazy. I think the quality is ok..maybe not quite as heavy duty as OEM but I like them and won't go back to the old ones. But I did this simply to acquire the new improved venting system. Put 2014 lowers on my 2012 and they fit good. MUCH cheaper than OEM..I'm satisfied.

while the advan lowers can be a good value, there are a couple of things to be aware of. first, they aren't quite as thick as the hd oem. then there is the glove box. the hd oem are 'rubberized' while the ab are just a textured plastic. the issue above of the snaps won't apply to you since you have a rushmore, but on the rushmore style, you have the door opening mechanism that is prone to failure. mine did, both the gear mech and the door latch broke. not a problem though, i just replaced the door catch with a couple of rare earth magnets and it holds it pretty securely. the vent door opening/closing mech isn't as smooth as the hd either. mine is stiff enough that i cannot adjust it while riding, i have to pull over to do it. but that's a rarity, i usually have it adjusted where i want before i start.
would i buy the takeoffs again? sure i would. the lowers are down low, and close to the road so they are hit with all kinds of road debris. either harley oem or takeoff, they will get abused. i can buy 5 or 6 sets of the takeoffs before i've spent what hd charges. (i got mine off of amazon for $100. i didn't need them painted as my bike is vivid black so that cut down on the cost substantially)
