Hi Folks,

I am wondering if I should be concerned... the other day I noticed my bumper (tail pipe side) had soot on it... so I wiped it off... there is still a discoloration of blue on the chrome. I am thinkin due to heat? I am sure I am not drivin down the road shootin flames or anything . I have no mods yet except for an after market AFE drop in filter & torque tube.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

 

Yea soot can be hard to get off....have you tried some good metal polish? Mothers etc.

 

blue, eh.... do some mods then it'll be black. problem solved. your welcome.

 

The discoloration doesn't but me too much.... I was just concerned since it just recently appeared that something might be gettin too hot. Believe me I can't wait to get some mods... I am a few hundred miles away from my warranty ending. Thanks for the replies guys!

 

yer just fine...........you could put a chrome turndown on it ifin it bathers ya..........or ya can pull up to a stop light with a ricer on yer right then give it all its got........smoke the ricer out

 

My bumper is de-chromeing because of soot, I am going to get the dealer to replace mine but I am still in the 3/36 warranty.

 

Yeah I wish I could screw with the lil rice burners... since I moved up here to Beautiful Northern Idaho I have been pulled over 2x's... thankfully they didn't write me up though. So I am takin it easy in the lead foot department lmao But, next time.... I will ask the ever so nice officer.... "So where can a girl go to feel her oats?"

 

Just wipe the soot off, then shine the bumper up with Brasso.

 

Glad they are not like that around here, had a car up my tail last night so I smoked it out and turned out to be a Sheriffs Car, he waved as he past though.

 

When you add the toys, just get used to the black. I can clean it off today and it's back the next night and my truck isn't much of a smoker. Just think of that quarter panel and bumper as a badge of honor
