    They are aluminum and were chromed from factory. Since I stripped them I know for a fact it is chrome and not anodized or clear coat, the coating is way to hard for either anodized or clear coat.
    Odd.. maybe mine were stripped previous to me buying the car.. thanks for the info though :)

    Stripped the chrome off and polished the bumpers and window trim.

    I havent repolished (touch up) them this year yet so they arnt nearly as shiny as they can be in those pictures.

    Stripped the chrome off and polished the bumpers and window trim. Here is the DIY I made.


    This was a few years ago and since has been polished a lot more.

    Replaced the outer tie rods that I have had for 2-3 years in my bedroom. Also gave it a good wash to get the tree pollen off of it.

    Not today but Saturday I replaced my struts to bilstein HD and refreshed me steering and suspension (cabs, tie for ends inner and outer, links) and new LCA bushings. Installed my new tires and now need to align.

    Finally did an oil change with the Schwaben fluid extractor and finally installed the windshield washer nozzles so it will be able to pass inspection.

    Replaced the neutral safety switch on my automatic. That roll pin wasn't exactly fun to press out.
