Stainless Bumper tubes.

Has any one tried the new stainless steel bumper tubes Vicks and AR sell? I was wondering if they shine like the chrome ones.
Thanks

They can shine like chrome plating.
They don't come that shiny but with a little extra elbow grease they'll get there.

They aren't much lighter than some OEM units, but they are a lot lighter than other OEM units.
I've weighed a bunch of OEM units and they have enormous weight differences over the years.

As we're moving I haven't had the time to weigh the new bumpers. We have them in our new warehouse while we continue to move our products down there.
