I can stare at your pictures all day! Absolutely awesome!

What was your reason for going from Chrome to polish? Probably gonna polish my Work lips this winter, the factory finish is rather dull.

So sexy bro. Saw this on Sonic's IG. Tried to 'like' 100 times, but it only allowed me to like once.

Oh that sucks, didn't you just build them a few months ago? Seemed rather quickly to peel.

It's been about a year and a half. Hard to describe what happened, so I said it peeled. It wasn't really peeling, but when I went to get new tires on, things went out of control and the chrome basically exploded off. Warranty was done with, but the owner of my shop made it right

It was done shitty. Chrome is nice and so much less maintenance than polishing lips.. Looks good either way but the chrome really pops.

Yeah, I was told it was a bad chrome job. Polishing the new lips takes much less time than I thought.
