You're not the first to tell me that. I just don't like the idea of paying for chrome, then covering it up, you know. I was hoping perhaps since there are new stampings being made, that someone might offer them in raw steel. I will admit, the 2 that are on the truck now were hard enough to find. I got the last pair that the vender had, and they were NOS items. I was hoping I could save the one that got damaged, but it's mashed up pretty bad.
Looks like it's going to upgrade time (new chrome front and rear).
