Hey all,

I need to get rear vent covers taillight covers, and a license plate cover.

Their stuff is like $74, $74, and $113. this seems really cheap... Are they any good? any problems?

Thanks,

I've used a Putco branded grille insert on a GMC Yukon before. It was of course chrome and I never had any issues with it.

There is no such thing as "good chrome". As soon as you learn this lesson the easier life will be for you.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The cheap Putco "Chrome" is plastic, not billet. Not necessarily bad (oem stock lux mirrors has the "Chrome" plastic caps), just not my taste...

Like H2finally said, it is plastic...surely there is a differnce in both looks and quality between chrome plated plastic and chrome plated billet alluminum. I wouldnt put any of it on my truck, but thats me.

I don't think I would want any products on my truck made by a company called Putco. That's just me.

Stainless is a much better choice when available.
