Real steel or Vinyl?

Blue Thunder · 02-08-2005, 05:55 AM

Hey i want to get bumper inserts so should i cough up the dough for the real stainless steel ones here on MT or get the stainless steel look-alike vinyl ones sold here on MT? LMK

I got the vinyl ones from here for like 14 bucks. I didnt want the real stuff cause it pokes out and I really just wanted silver, not BLING BLING on the back of my car. It goes better with my silver inserted seats and 35th gauge cluster.

I have the reflective white vinyl. I think that it is much easier to have when it comes to washing/waxing your car. Having the SS one buldge out can be annoying and also would look funny when looked at from the side since it wouldnt have that smooth glossy look (from the side). This is just my opinion though, I've never had the SS ones and this is based on my perception of having them.

I have had the vinyl for about 5years, they are starting to crack.

Well, five years and just starting to crack for 15 bucks sounds like I made the right decision.
