Around 2008 or so I purchased stainless steel front & rear bumpers off
or e-bay. Looked good fit OK. Last winter my TR was in an open carport
with the front towards prevailing winds. And my front bumper rusted. I
hit it with steel wool today and that "stainless steel" came off in
flakes with a steel bumper underneath. I had no idea that you could
plate steel with a thin layer of stainless. I didn't get what I paid
for. Lasted fine in Arizona but couldn't handle a pacific northwest winter.
I guess the next SS bumper will need to be checked with a magnet. Anyone
have a reliable source for real stainless steel TR3A bumpers?
