I have used these on several different vehicles for decades. Of course the chrome will start to chip over time but honestly for the price they are worth it and you will get a few more years of use from them before they start to show their age and if you keep them dry, will keep them even longer. They look good and do their job, what more could you ask for? My ONLY complaint is that they are a bit stiffer than they should be, so they often need a bit of stretching. So be careful if you have to do this because if you overtighten them they will be useless. Take your time and take it slow and you should be fine.
