Does the stainless steel match well with other chrome pieces such as grilles
and headlight doors?

I have a unpainted bumper and a factory stainless bumber. Tomorrow, I will
guage
it. I didn't notice a thickness difference, but I wasn't looking for that,
either. I think the stainless looks better than chrome. It really bothers me
when I buy repro parts and the quality is par with a Yugo or a Lada. It used
to
be you had to really bang the bumper before the chrome chips off.
