Nah I didn't scuff it at all still trying to decide if it's worth it to strip them, any opinions? Black or chrome

Yeah unless your gonna go back to chrome with the bumpers too then I would say stick with the black. But thats just me and I hate chrome too. In the process of de-chroming everything on mine...
