Default bumper inserts

ok so i was lookin at american muscle and i noticed that they had two different types of "stainless steal" inserts, one is actualy stainless steal and the other is a vinyl. im wondering if i get the vinyl ones because they are on sale and definately in my price range would they look like crap compared to the other more higher priced inserts. would the old saying "you get what you paid for" be applied to this situation. thanks.

15bucks

It expired already, sorry.

Let me know how they look though. I don't think I'd want inserts on my car but I can't recall seeing them on a black now.

Ahh there you go. Hmm, that's not as bad as I thought. I think it would look best if you have nice chrome tipped exhaust too, right now I'm all stock.

I have the SS inserts, they stick out a little bit from the bumper and look fantastic as such. I figured they would look good set in to the bumper all the way, but I'm glad I got these SS inserts instead... WORTH THE MONEY! They're polished and look like chrome, those vinyls will look dull. I'll be able to supply you with some pictures tomorrow, but take a look at these for now, and this video.
