Hey guys. Does anyone know where to get that chrome strip on bumper and how much they cost.
Im getting my kit installed this week and wanted to get this piece done for the front and back in the process. Or maybe I should change them all the way around if possible.
Should they be installed prior to paint or can they be installed after painting. Any info would be great. Thanks.

just get the generic ones from kragen or pep boys. he said it's the exact same stuff, except these are a lot cheaper. i havetn' checked out auto store yet, but i agree if they are the same, they would be a lot cheaper than the ones from dealerships

Does anyone know if its best to install before or after the paint job. Or does it even matter?

This is true. You can get a whole roll of that Ish from Pep Boys for $4.50 or so.
