I guess it’s a good thing I do like chrome because chrome stands up better than paint or painted plastic.
I had an older Dodge Stratus once that every winter, the rock chips would just get worse and worse on that painted plastic front bumper and even though down here in Oklahoma where we don’t usually get much of a winter, the third GEN half-ton Ram I had after that car was still bad about paint peeling off that cheap plastic front bumper which is why after that I vowed I wasn’t going to ever again have a painted to match truck because for one, I really don’t like everything to all be one color unless it was a blacked out charger, Challenger or Durango. To me, chrome just goes on a truck or unless it’s some special edition truck like the SRT 10.
But before you ask, lol, I really didn’t want my last truck to have that painted front bumper but since that’s how they were building the top trim Laramies at the time, I had no choice. Everything else on that truck was chrome like it should have been except for the front bumper. It was the same as what they put on the sport model trucks but what made that the “Laramie” bumper was they put on this chrome-plated plastic panel that was right in the center of the bumper behind where the license plate goes.
If I would’ve ended up keeping that truck, I would’ve ditched that bumper eventually for the plain chrome bumper.
