240ZBUILTBYME Posted May 11, 2021 Share #169 Posted May 11, 2021 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.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I would POR 15 the insides to protect them. On your car, I vote you leave them chrome...

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!

dmorales-bello Posted May 12, 2021 Share #174 Posted May 12, 2021 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.

S30Driver Posted May 12, 2021 Share #176 Posted May 12, 2021 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
