Hi Folks,
I ordered some stainless steel lower bumper trim and was told it would be about 4-6 weeks from China for delivery.
Well, it only took just under two weeks from order for them to arrive.
The quality is first rate, much stronger then expected.
There is a very thin black rubber v strip over the top edge, where it meets the bumper, so it doesn't scratch, etc.
Installation took about 10 minutes for the front and the same again, for the back. ( four stainless steel screws & five for the back.)
I also added several spots of clear silicone inside the trim, to ensure no vibration, if any, would cause them to come undone.
The main consideration in having a roll of masking tape to attach to the bumper and new trim, so placement and positioning is perfect.
Then you can drill a pilot hole and screw each one on, without worrying about any movement.
When you consider that the plastic silver trims cost about $800-900 a set, plus installation, these stainless steel trims cost me $172.00 AUD for the set ............ and l'm very happy with how they look.
Images attached.
Your thoughts?
