Sure would be nice if they would replace the other rear also that has had small scratches in it from day one. I think they did admit that the old chromer they used sucked...

correct me if I am wrong.
somebody told me this before, if you had a chrome lips, when you made a damage from parking on the sidewalk, it is expensive/(or hard to fix) the chrome lips.
on the other hand if its polished lips, it is easier to fix the scratches.

A polished lip can be fixed if it is not really bad...
