well chrome would last longer than Aluminum plating would, but would be way heavier.

Diamond plat is for trucks and I will keep it at that.

x2 what he said.
Actually I went with nice custom molded ones for my truck. They don't weigh much and keep dirt off of carpet

With all the joking aside. Best thing you can do is get it undercoated, spray any rusty suspension parts with chassis black and it will look great.
