Now that the Harrington SS bumpers have been out for a while, how about a product review from some who have bought them? My questions are:

Fit? - Poor, Fair, Good, Outstanding
Finish - Are they really as shiny as chrome, or can you tell that they are "off" a little?
Durability - Do you have to polish them more often than chrome to keep them shiny?
Materials - Are they using a good quality SS that really doesn't start to discolor over time?

Regards,

Steve

Stainless is not as shiny as chrome...The side trim on our cars is stainless.
Maybe the "ideal" solution would be to chrome the stainless bumper.....

Our fearless leader has them. Here is what he says;

Hopefully this weekend I will get them on.

Look good to me

Here they are mounted on my 67.5 --









Although a bit pricy I do like them.

Hey Steve:
Now that you have a few years on them, how are they holding up? Still look as good? Any signs of any rust/tanrish/marring?
They sure look good!

They look as good as the did the day I put them on. Still nice and shiny. Bling-bling!!
