Re: Polished alum or chrome column?

Chrome would be less maintenance. For what it's worth...I've installed both polished aluminim and chrome steering columns in the past for customers, and the one thing, particularly with our trucks and the column angle and the seating arrangement, is that at night the polished surface of the steering column reflects the lights from the instruments panel as a glare onto the windshield.
