I don't see any currently available, but I got this frame from eBay, and installed it roughly 5 months ago, now it's covered in rust. I do not recommend.

I get a Scionlife one if I could get it in Chrome.

I'll probably just get a nice triple chrome plated one and
stencil my screen name on it.

Don't remember, but it was under $20 after shipping. It did look really nice for about four months.

Good call, will do. Unless anyone knows of any stickers around which will fit, I'll probably just have plain black

take steel wool to it and it might look good as new.

plastic bristled brush + wd40 + elbow greese, then strip all the oil off, try rubbing alcohol then clear coat that sucker.


but chances are that bad boy may be ruined!

:doh:

That's weak! I've never seen a chrome frame rust! It looked nice too!

I got a chrome TRD Frame from a local store for $10, It hasn't rusted so
far, and if it does, 10 bucks ain't so bad..

easy to fix bro go get some Never Dull and rub it down really good... let it sit for a while and wipe it with terry cloth... if it s not all off try again... shouldn't have to do it after the second time... plus after you do it never dull protects from rusting again...

I will look later when I have some time.

Thanks for the advice, But I was wanting a black one anyway. I am gonna paint it tonight. If I get really ambitious, I may mask off where it says SCION, since it appears that section is not rusted.
