EdgyDon Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Took a rock or something. It's got a dent and mush in the plastic chrome. Just sold a 1999 F250 with out a single dent or mush in the grill chrome. Is Ford cheepn' out or is it the bulkyness of the grill....?

ug.mac Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Our chrome bars I believe is zinc coated ABS plastic which is softer than the rock piece/sand (density 1.0g/mL vs 2~5g/mL, same materiel used on 18" chrome wheel cover), especially when you hit them at high speed. Steel or Aluminum alloy certainly better(harder) than ABS in most case but they will be heavier and pricey, and you have to deal with the oxidization. I have the same thing on mine, I will try some waxing at next wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
