Yeah I am on the fence as to whether I want shiny chrome look bumpers or satin black. I figure I will install them as chrome look and I can always paint after.

the cost of shipping from the US made these Vietnam ones more attractive to me as shipping from Vietnam is cheaper to oz.

Now do yourself a favour - cover them up again with protective film during the install! I managed to put a scratch on mine, that while not very visible to most people’s eyes, I see it every time 😉

Haha that was my plan! I have read the stainless can get scratches with washing, I would just be very careful about using a dirty wash mitt or anything other than lambs wool/clean micro fiber. And as always soap is a must.

The shiny bumpers look so nice!

Jeff   :   Are the inside of the bumpers coated with anything for rust prevention?  In your picture, its looks like the inside is painted black.   If not, I would POR 15 the insides to protect them.

On your car, I vote you leave them chrome...

Who’s Jeff?! Lol 😂 

yes they are painted black on the inside, rust shouldn’t be a concern as they are stainless and I won’t be driving it in the rain!

They look really shiny and smooth! If you're not sure which way to go, you can have them vinyl wrapped in whatever color and finish you want to try (like satin black) and if you don't like it after a while you can simply remove the wrap with no damage whatsoever on your pretty chrome.

That is a cracker of an idea! Thanks mate

Oops, sorry my friend.  Originally had Ryan and changed it to Jeff because of Charles's earlier post.   I'm guessing Ryan is correct?

Somehow I missed the bumper were stainless, takes care of any corrosion issues.

I like watching your videos by the way...   Cheers

If they are stainless steel they shouldn’t rust.

Yes.. but there is stainless and there is stainless...  In some conditions i have seen stainless that was rusty..

It all comes back to the word: Quality..  And i don't know but lately that is what is failing a lot of times..
