Rob - I would think that due to the removal of the body contour metal below
the tail lamps (and a different rear valance?) that a chrome bumper
conversion would have to contain some sort of tell-tale filler material
that would be a dead give-away. There are similar problems in front. ' Am
curious about what the kit would contain. I have both types, and
personally, I like each for what it is. I can't see why convert either
type.
