Chrome Mirror Covers
There are many car and truck accessories on the market that not only enhance the look of the vehicle, but can also provide extra protection. Products that protect the vehicle from possible damages down the road add a significant amount of value to the vehicle. A wide range of materials are used to protect certain areas of the vehicle such as chrome. Products like chrome mirror covers and chrome trim add shine and protection. The advantages of chrome are obvious for a number of reasons. Chrome mirror covers protect the mirror from flying debris while driving. The durability of chrome deflects hard objects that would otherwise break the mirror.
Not only is chrome durable, it is easy to clean. The mirrors on any vehicle are constantly bombarded with bugs and debris. Even road tar finds its way up to the back of the mirror. These elements can brutalize the mirror and are very difficult to clean off. Some high pressure washers are still unable to remove embedded bugs or tar that may have become a part of the mirror housing. Bugs and tar are elements that can be easier cleaned when they hit a chrome surface. The smooth aspect of chrome doesn’t allow debris to become embedded deeper than the surface. Without chrome mirror covers, the mirror housing would need to undergo intense scrubbing in order to remove all debris.
Chrome mirror covers also protect the mirror housing from chips and scratches. Rocks and other objects are known to hit the mirror housing with such great force that results in damage. The durability of chrome deflects and protects this from happening and even protects the possibility of objects puncturing through to the mirror itself. Often times chrome bumpers are also seen on most vehicles. They provide protection and are very easy to clean. The front of the vehicle will experience more bug impact than any other part of the vehicle.
Accessories like chrome mirror covers are manufactured to fit all types of cars and trucks. They are built with the same contours of vehicle’s mirror housing for a perfect fit. Most are easy to install and drilling or cutting isn’t needed. Chrome mirror covers are usually installed with 3M adhesive tape that is extremely sticky. Before installing a chrome mirror cover, it is recommended that the mirror housing be cleaned off to avoid any complications with the adhesive tape. Most manufacturers supply the 3M adhesive tape with their chrome mirrors. The entire package is made to fit any specific vehicle perfectly that it was made for.
Custom chrome mirror covers are also a popular way to enhance the look of a vehicle. Some are manufactured in the shape of a flame or other designs while still fitting the contours of the mirror housing. Newer vehicles today have blinker indicators on the mirror housing. Chrome mirror covers are also made with custom cutouts for blinker indicators. Companies that manufacture chrome mirror covers use special molded shapes that are engineered to fit specific makes of vehicles. Higher end mirror covers will be tripled layered with chrome for added protection and durability.
Products such as chrome mirror covers are popular with everyday drivers as well as car enthusiasts. They can be seen on stock vehicles and even at custom hot rod shows. They provide that extra gleam that car lovers are looking for. Chrome trim is often used to accent the mirror covers or vice versa. Materials such as chrome add value, protection and shine that most people look for when shopping for aftermarket car and truck accessories. They are long lasting and protect the mirror housing from possible damages that may occur down the road.
