I didn't know that brake fluid would do that! I have a spot where the pressure washer had starter peeling the chrome off. I think I may try it. I'm thinking about buying the Big Mouth grill to ride with as I do this and swap it out from time to time. That way if I screw it up, I'm not without a grill.

And if you're asking about my rim and tires: 20x8.5 Boss 315's wrapped in Fuzion XTi's 275/60/20. The truck is an 05 Z85 package with no lift yet. The front sits 3/4" lower than the rear. All I did to tuck the tires was cut the front firewall on the passenger side. The tread misses the valence by about 1/4" and lightly scrubs at times on the passenger side during a left turn. Usually good to go.
