    How did you strip the chrome on your Tahoe? My Moto Metal's look horrible and the chrome is failing all over. I'd like to strip them and paint them black. A local company quoted me $500 just to strip the chrome....I can dang near buy new rims for that....

    Thanks for the info, Hopefully I can lose the spacers altogether. They have given me zero issues and have been great but I would rather not have them if I can avoid it.

    Xact. Fit very well. My boss picked up the weather techs and they felt cheaper compared to these.

    A long time ago I had catch-all's and I think those were even better than these. They were definitely better looking.

    Wait for it...
    It was an extended project over the winter when I lived in Ohio but I bought a cheap air sander from Harbor Freight to handle most of the heavy work & hand sanded whatever else. They weren't 100% bare & perfectly smooth but it didn't bother me as much as the chrome peeling since the black hid a lot of the blemishes. I used adhesion promoter & etching primer to be sure the paint would stick. In 3 years I NEVER saw the chrome underneath & did a respray just before I sold them. At that point they were almost flat black. I might have a few pics at home if needed.
