i was just looking at some posts and i looked on the side and ive always known the points are there under the number of posts. But why? what are the points for? are they just tehre to show off big numbers and stuff or what? i mean i dont really care if tehyre useless or not but im just kinda curious as to what purpose they serve if any.

now for the not so meaningless topic:
My back bumber has a million little dots and blemishes in the chrome. I have no idea what tehy are but theyre everywhere. ive cleaned it and waxed it with chrome polish and nothing. i have a few scratches btu there dots are so very lame and they make me angry. anybody know what i'm talking about? maybe you have a way to get them off or maybe some miracle product, cause theyre really ugly and i dotn wnat to have to get a new bumper or have that one re-chromed case it aint that cheap. thanx.

Read this: What are points? (http://www.elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=236)

I like the idea of a fiberglass rear roll pan too. You can probably install it yourself too.

hmmm...i havent had any problems like that one mine, just a dent and it is now bent facing down slightly... i dont like rollpans though, i just like to have the security (might be false) of having a hefty piece of metal gaurding my @ss. :D

You could always get the bumpers sandblasted and then paint 'em to match the body color of your elky.
