These kits are one of the easiest ways to Personalize your F-150. There are to many on the market to explain the differences. I'll give you some information about the kit and the way we use them. Chromium is electro plated to metal strips, door handles, head and tail light assemblies and bumpers. These strips and kits were first used to cover seams and generally chrome a vehicle.
Back when chromium was king the1956 Buick Road Master had enough iron and chromium on them you could build two Toyotas and trick them out with just the front bumper and still build a few kits from it. As it was then, it is today chrome kits were popular and it was an expensive process. If you wanted something different you had to make it or have it made, usually at a custom shop as one off chrome piece, these were expensive for most. We use stainless steel today because we can shape, form it, and polish it to almost to the same brilliance as chrome and we don't have to electro plate it, was cheaper. We still use stainless on production vehicles today.
These kits are the idea of a custom shop or an individual. They seen a need for custom chrome kits for those who wanted extra bling. So to make them they simply set up production for the kits that they had requests for and sold Chrome Kits.
Chrome kits are custom add ONS for your truck. Some kits are OEM replacement parts. Maybe you pulled a piece off wheel'n or something. Chrome kits can be a real nice custom piece or an injection molded chunk of plastic. Yes I said plastic chrome kits. With the new chrome processes that are available we can make real chrome kits out of just about anything that can be painted or molded. This way of making chrome kits leaves it open for our twisted imagination as to what we want. Just look at the after market chrome grills that are here today. Now could you really see some poor fool spending how many hours trying to build a chrome honey comb grill with a tig welder.
There are chrome kits for interiors, engine chrome kits, chrome kits for exteriors,chrome kits for trim, chrome exhaust kits. Today's kits are reasonably priced and the chrome processes allows the kits to be black chrome kits or silver chrome kits come get: F150 chrome kits for your truck at F150Mania along with some outstanding customer service thanks.
