I put 4 on there... but I spray light coats. I also just removed the ring with the bumper attached...at lunch one day.

I used plasti dip on the ring and the bumper. I think I did around 6 coats. Already went through a heavy winter season. It has held up very nice and gets a lot of good comments. I highly recommend it!

I didnt write a How-To, but on the first page of this thread i wrote a brief post on removing the chrome with the bumper on.Its super easy.only involves a stubby screw driver pretty much.If anyone wants to know how to take it off with the bumper on in more depth Id be more than happy to help

-just let me know

Plastic. postisnolongenoughhowghay

Nope, $300 piece of chrome-painted plastic. Major ripoff, it's not worth more than $75 at most.

[Jackal]

Over $500 if your in Canada for it.

mine looks like its driven through a few rock mine fields in its day, tons of dents but not a single chip out of the chrome exposing the plastic underneath...

at least its a good piece of overpriced plastic

Eh, it's not that great. Once it's removed from the bumper it's quite fragile.
