my 06 with 3500 miles on it got a few rock chips and is rusting and peeling. wasnt impressed. rock chips like a mofo on the hood too. took it back to the stealer to ***** so they are replacing the chrome bumper bar for free. as far as the chips they say im SOL.
The 01-02 HD grille's have a lot of problem with cracking chrome. The way the center bar is molded, it tends to flex in the same spots. I tried to buy a grille on ebay, but the shipper didn't pad it, so it arrived with a broken center bar. Called the stealer.........they don't sell just the center bar for this grille.
You can buy the bowtie from the dealer. Around $30
My 02 is just starting to peel (very tiny spot). I see one driving around that has the billet inserts and the chrome has been painted to match the truck. Looks sharp!!!. That might be an alternative for the peeling chrome.
