Also how's that vinyl on the bumper holding up ?
I looked at replacing it not long ago and it was still in good shape with minimal chipping. So I left it. If I remember I'll get a pic later.

Cool. I have perfect chrome bumpers so I just wanna wrap them instead of buying new raw bumpers and painting them.
Vinyl $75-$150
Bumper plus paint $1000
I vote option A lol
And when I go to sell it I can show the buyer there's an option to have chrome just a simple peel away

Yeah they wanted about the same amount of money to color match my bumpers. I opted vinyl. Here is a pic from toady. I think I installed 2-3 years ago. a0618cbfb2037930497591f77873c3b4.jpg

You have black so it's nice to match up. Heres my blue with a flake, gonna be hard to match it up. Although I have a few leads.

You can see that flake.

If I remember this is 3m material at a local shop. Pretty close match up. But the guy said he would have to special order it and I would have to pay for the shipping which would cost more than the actual roll. Did I mention how much I hate it up here in Alaska :flame:

I would just paint it. Being plastic it would be easy and only cost a couple hundred bucks.
Mine are chrome (under the plastidip) and don't have a 100% guarantee on painting chrome.

Last night I installed the 3" upper and lower control arms, shocks and sway bar end links. When I take it to get aligned I'm going to have them replace the inner and outer tire rod ends.

Picked up some painted door handles and swapped out the overhead console for one with HomeLink.
