What i can't ****ing believe is the cheapchromed plastic parts on my rig held up better than the expensive chrome parts. My side marker covers, door handle buckets, and door sill platesare ****ing junk after3 month winter exposure. If i could remeber who made them, i'd raise hell as they were advertised not to rust or corrode. 1G pissed away right there...

I learned my lesson after my 1st WINTER!!! I think I went through $1600 worth of Chrome that i had to replace!![:@]

I now DE-CHROME before the snow flies and RE-CHROME after the city cleans all the winter salt and crap off the roads!!

Are you saying, you take off the chrome in winter and put it back on in the summer? That is a good idea. I bought a set of light bezles for the side and rear marker lights. They look well made, and they were not the cheap ones. They look great on, kind of like a finished looked.

Hummm, maybe the idea of taking all the chrome off in like Oct thru Feb maybe a great idea.

Yep!!

Every October-Novermber(depends on the weather), I de-chrome her, then every April-May, I re-chrome her.

An hour or two of work saves ALOT OF CASH!!!
