Any thoughts when paired with Max Steel?

Any thoughts when paired with Max Steel?

• Chrome=55 and above (like me).
• Color match=not eligible for the senior discount.

Results may vary.

I have maximum steel, and chrome. I don't mind it as much as I thought I would. I think I would still choose color matching given the choice, but both will look great.

How do you like the color overall?

I think either would look good with a nudge to color matched. Just make sure to get a paint protection film installed if you go painted to prevent rock chips.

Where can I get that done? Cost?

saw a Max Steel Limited with colored bumpers. Looked awesome! IMO it had just enough chrome to make that color pop.

Xpel is a good brand, here is their installer locator, just check reviews.

Just for the bumper your probably looking around $300-$400.

I love the color, it was not my first choice... but I think I like it the most now

I have Max Steel with Chrome, my last Ram had colored bumpers and I thought I would go that route instead but when I got to the dealership I saw the Steel/Chrome combo and my wife and I both loved it. We both typically don't like the chrome bumpers and trim either.

I prefer chrome bumpers. I think the sport models with the color match look great too, but I think of the durability too. Paint will scratch/scrape worse than chrome, and I like a little bit of chrome anyway.

I have a Max Steel Limited and love my color matched bumpers. I've had the truck for 2 weeks now and get compliments every day.

2nd this recommendation...I had the XPEL put on mine and so far so good. I paid $800 but that was with the bumper, the area under the headlights, 18 inches on the hood and bring it straight down across the front fenders, and window tinting two windows and the sunroof.

P.S. the installer hated doing all the curves on the front end

I like chrome mostly because it doesn't need extra protection. Easy to keep looking new. There's something about paying an extra $500-1000 just to keep something looking good that I don't like. And with all the holes and edges in the bumpers I figure it's just a matter of time for the clear stickers to start lifting.

Color match Limited, very happy with the look.

One reason I did color matched was that it really addresses the "cheeks" on the front end, especially on Ivory and a few other colors. With chrome bumpers those cheeks just stand out and are my least favorite front end part. Going with the Ivory on the bumper just makes the cheeks blend in that much more.
I think the closer your paint is to chrome the less you would notice it as well.
