Default Re: To Chrome or Not To Chrome...That is the question

You are right about that... all that glued on chrome I was not happy with.. it is a much better idea to get the factory parts chromed...

I bought the chrome grill, chrome windscreen and chrome side fins from our common providers and can say the only piece I am really happy with is the grill the other 2 have problems of their own... the side fins are far from a perfect fit and there is still the original part showing if u look close enough and the windscreen produces much noise at high speeds as it interferes with aerodynamics...

Don't do any of the stuck on stuff... it is not worth it... I would recommend you send out the stock handles and have them chromed it will cost more, but I even after purchasing the parts am probably going to do this eventually...
