    Mine's only a week old, but come spring/summer, that's what I'll be doing. If I don't like it, it's coming off, that simple!

    Oh for sure chrome is gone one way or another!!
    Very true, I'd just rather be done with it for good tho. How easy does that plasti dip come off?I know it's advertised to peel off clean but does it actually do so,or does it leave residue behind?

    I've considered doing a whole new steel reat bumper, but I'll make that a way down the list potential upgrade. I want to get all the convenience and comfort upgrades(stuff you make)done that I need or have top priority first, so maybe a couple years down the road that would be an option still but I need to get this thing further away from the ground, and fast...!!!

    I've heard I doesn't come off as easily as described. But it's even harder to remove regular paint. I cant wait!

    Sounds like were in the same boat. I still have to paint my steel winter rims. And I just bought rock sliders, so I'm broke :thumbsup:
