  1. The chrome is actually a true chrome plating... The ABS plastic is sprayed with a special paint that accepts the plating process. The trick is to get an edge started on the chrome plate and use a 2500psi'ish pressure washer to "separate" the plating from the plastic. The pressure washer will not damage the plastic and the plating is fairly easily seperated. From here it's a series of hand peeling and alternating separating with the pressure washer. Use gloves because the plating is thick and extremely sharp.
  2. IMO on the SubStage it adds some decent bass to the Bose system just don't expect anything close to two 10's in a custom box... For me the value was in the OEM type fit and finish while seamlessly integrating to the factory system.
  3. Here are some pics of my install, I have Bose so this is just the SubStage kit (200w amp and sub only) and not the SoundStage...
  4. Both bleach and oven cleaner had zero effect on removing the chrome.
  5. My color matched 2015 Iridium Denali Duramax. Bumpers came painted but the rest of the truck had all of the "lick 'em stick 'em" chrome GM gets carried away with. I DO NOT believe in painting over the chrome and everyone told me you can't remove chrome from ABS plastic without messing it up....... I love it when people tell me something can't be done ;-)
