Installation Disclaimer

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Last Updated: August 21, 2026

This Installation Disclaimer applies to all products purchased from GSC Tuning (“GSC Tuning,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including but not limited to aftermarket automotive parts, performance products, carbon fiber components, exterior body kits, suspension systems, brake systems, wheels, lighting products, exhaust systems, steering wheels, ECU-related products, interior modification products, window film, and related accessories.

By purchasing, installing, test-fitting, modifying, or using any product from GSC Tuning, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Installation Disclaimer.

1. Professional Installation Strongly Recommended

GSC Tuning strongly recommends that all aftermarket automotive products be installed by qualified, experienced, and properly equipped automotive professionals.

Many products sold by GSC Tuning may require professional tools, technical knowledge, vehicle-specific experience, electrical knowledge, mechanical skill, coding, programming, adjustment, alignment, trimming, test-fitting, or safety inspection.

Improper installation may result in:

· Product damage;

· Vehicle damage;

· Electrical failure;

· Water intrusion;

· Fitment issues;

· Warning lights or diagnostic trouble codes;

· Reduced vehicle reliability;

· Poor performance;

· Unsafe vehicle operation;

· Property damage;

· Personal injury;

· Serious bodily injury;

· Death.

Customers assume all risks associated with installation, use, modification, removal, and operation of any product purchased from GSC Tuning.

2. Customer Responsibility Before Installation

Before installing any product, the customer and installer are responsible for verifying:

· The correct product was received;

· The product matches the order;

· The product is compatible with the intended vehicle;

· The vehicle make, model, year, trim, engine, body style, production date, and VIN are correct;

· The product is free from visible damage;

· All required parts, hardware, accessories, and instructions are present;

· The product is suitable for the customer’s intended use;

· Installation can be performed safely and properly.

Customers should not install, paint, drill, cut, modify, wrap, sand, polish, wire, code, program, or otherwise alter any product until it has been fully inspected and confirmed to be correct, complete, and undamaged.

Installation, test-fitting, painting, modification, or use may be treated as acceptance that the product was received in acceptable condition.

3. No Guarantee of Installation Difficulty

Aftermarket automotive products may not install in the same manner as original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) parts.

Depending on the vehicle, product type, production tolerance, prior repairs, existing modifications, model variation, regional specification, or installer skill level, some products may require:

· Adjustment;

· Alignment;

· Minor trimming;

· Additional hardware;

· Bracket adjustment;

· Test-fitting;

· Professional body shop work;

· Electrical coding;

· Programming;

· Calibration;

· Sealing;

· Additional labor.

A product is not considered defective solely because installation is difficult, requires professional adjustment, requires additional labor, or cannot be installed by an inexperienced installer.

4. Fitment and Vehicle Compatibility

Fitment information provided by GSC Tuning is for general reference only.

Vehicle manufacturers may have production changes, regional differences, trim variations, optional equipment differences, body style variations, and model-year updates that may affect compatibility.

The customer is solely responsible for confirming product compatibility before purchase and before installation.

Fitment advice provided by GSC Tuning through email, phone, live chat, text message, social media, or other communication channels is provided as a courtesy and does not constitute a guarantee of compatibility or successful installation.

GSC Tuning is not responsible for costs, losses, labor, or damages resulting from incorrect vehicle information, customer ordering error, incompatible modifications, or installer failure to verify fitment before installation.

5. Installed, Modified, or Altered Products

Once a product has been installed, test-fitted in a way that leaves marks, painted, drilled, cut, trimmed, sanded, polished, wrapped, coated, wired, coded, programmed, modified, repaired, disassembled, or otherwise altered, it may no longer be eligible for standard return or refund.

Installed or modified products may only be reviewed under the applicable Warranty Policy if GSC Tuning determines that the issue is caused by a verified manufacturing defect, material defect, or product functional defect.

Damage caused by installation, removal, modification, misuse, improper handling, or incorrect application is not covered.

6. Electrical, Lighting, and Electronic Products

Lighting products, taillights, headlights, LED steering wheels, electrical modules, wiring harnesses, sensors, control units, and other electronic components require proper installation and handling.

Customers and installers are responsible for ensuring:

· Correct wiring;

· Correct voltage;

· Proper grounding;

· Proper sealing;

· Proper coding or programming where required;

· Protection from water intrusion;

· No unauthorized wire cutting, splicing, or modification;

· Compatibility with the vehicle’s electrical system.

GSC Tuning is not responsible for electrical failure, warning lights, diagnostic trouble codes, water intrusion, module damage, short circuits, battery drain, or vehicle electronic issues caused by improper installation, incorrect wiring, coding errors, modification, or incompatible vehicle systems.

7. Suspension, Brake, Wheel, and Safety-Critical Products

Suspension systems, coilovers, brake kits, wheels, steering components, and other safety-critical products must be installed by qualified professionals.

Improper installation of safety-critical components may result in loss of vehicle control, brake failure, suspension failure, wheel failure, property damage, serious injury, or death.

Customers are responsible for ensuring all safety-critical components are installed, torqued, adjusted, aligned, tested, and inspected according to professional standards before the vehicle is operated.

GSC Tuning is not responsible for damage, injury, or losses caused by improper installation, incorrect torque, incorrect adjustment, failure to perform alignment, failure to inspect, or unsafe operation.

8. Carbon Fiber and Exterior Body Components

Carbon fiber, composite, fiberglass, ABS, aerodynamic, and exterior body components may require professional test-fitting, adjustment, alignment, or body shop installation.

Minor adjustment may be required due to vehicle production tolerances, prior repairs, aftermarket modifications, bumper alignment, body panel variation, or installation method.

Customers should test-fit all exterior components before painting, coating, drilling, cutting, or final installation.

GSC Tuning is not responsible for paint costs, body shop costs, labor costs, or modification costs if the customer or installer fails to test-fit the product before painting, modifying, or installing it.

9. Exhaust, Performance, and Motorsport Products

Exhaust systems, downpipes, intake systems, turbo-related components, ECU-related products, suspension products, brake systems, and other performance products may alter vehicle operation, emissions, sound, reliability, drivability, or factory warranty coverage.

Customers are responsible for confirming whether a product is legal for street use, emissions-compliant, inspection-compliant, and suitable for the intended application.

Some products may be intended for off-road, racing, closed-course, competition, or exhibition use only.

GSC Tuning makes no representation that any product is legal for use on public roads unless expressly stated in writing.

Unless expressly agreed in writing by GSC Tuning, we do not reimburse or compensate customers for:

· Installation labor;

· Removal labor;

· Reinstallation labor;

· Diagnostic fees;

· Body shop fees;

This applies even if a product is returned, exchanged, replaced, or reviewed under warranty, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

11. Third-Party Installers

Customers may choose their own installer, shop, technician, body shop, tuner, or mechanic.

GSC Tuning is not responsible for the actions, omissions, workmanship, recommendations, pricing, delays, mistakes, damage, negligence, or representations of any third-party installer.

Any dispute between the customer and a third-party installer is solely between the customer and that installer.

Customers are responsible for selecting a qualified installer and confirming the installer’s experience with aftermarket automotive products.

12. GSC Tuning Installation Services

If GSC Tuning directly provides installation services, such installation may be subject to a separate invoice, work order, installation agreement, service disclaimer, or written terms provided at the time of service.

Warranty or service responsibility for installation performed directly by GSC Tuning shall be limited to the specific installation work performed by GSC Tuning and shall not extend to unrelated vehicle conditions, pre-existing issues, third-party parts, customer-supplied parts, vehicle wear, prior repairs, or future modifications.

GSC Tuning reserves the right to inspect, diagnose, and determine whether an issue is related to GSC Tuning’s installation workmanship, product condition, vehicle condition, customer use, or third-party modification.

13. Customer-Supplied Parts

If GSC Tuning installs, inspects, or provides service involving customer-supplied parts, GSC Tuning is not responsible for the quality, authenticity, fitment, warranty, safety, completeness, or legality of those parts unless expressly agreed in writing.

Customer-supplied parts may not be covered by GSC Tuning’s product warranty.

GSC Tuning reserves the right to refuse installation of any customer-supplied part that appears unsafe, incompatible, incomplete, counterfeit, damaged, illegal, or unsuitable for installation.

14. Post-Installation Inspection

After installation, the customer is responsible for ensuring the vehicle is inspected and tested before normal operation.

Depending on the product, this may include:

· Torque verification;

· Alignment;

· Brake testing;

· Suspension adjustment;

· Lighting function test;

· Electrical system check;

Customers should not operate a vehicle if there are signs of unsafe installation, loose components, abnormal noise, fluid leaks, warning lights, rubbing, vibration, electrical malfunction, brake issues, steering issues, or other safety concerns.

15. Assumption of Risk

Automotive modification involves inherent risks.

By purchasing, installing, modifying, or using products from GSC Tuning, the customer voluntarily assumes all risks associated with aftermarket automotive products, including risks related to installation, vehicle operation, product compatibility, performance use, road conditions, emissions compliance, and legal compliance.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GSC Tuning shall not be liable for damage, injury, loss, or expense arising from improper installation, misuse, modification, racing, off-road use, illegal use, customer error, installer error, or failure to follow proper safety procedures.
