    Gotta use Stainless steel, plastic is junk, period. Put some chrome on the inside man, gauge covers, shift knob, etc.

    its not like there going to get to keep them lol. When I change trucks i'll put there rusty ones back on and move mine to my new(er) truck.


    I can't stand to drive something ugly and well chrome wont fix ugly....but it'll make it easyer to put up with:biggrin_2559:


    Plus everyone always comes on here and says "hey did I pass you today?", when I'm done you'll KNOW its me!:biggrin_25525:
