New Rear Bumper YAY or NAY?
I'm kinda tossed on the whole bumper. Thought it would look better like the front. Looks out of place.

Kind of a pain in the butt to get on there with the bent bracket.


What do you think?

Looks good man, Did you paint the plastic piece on the rear bumper black? I was thinking about painting my front valance and the rear plastic piece black..

I know you did, I was just asking because that piece on the bumper you have on your truck now is black, mine is grey. I do like your red one better though

Yes little snaps underneath. Not positive you can get it off without taking the whole bumper off.

I got the chrome one up front. I looks killer up front.

Im just not so sure about the back.

Yeah I agree, red was better. Chrome front bumpers look great, but I like painted rears personally.

Now that I see the front, I would leave the chrome on the rear and paint the step pad red.

I'm sort of 50/50 on it. I like the chrome on the front bumper.

You need more chrome in the back, so the bumper flows better. maybe chrome tailgate handle?
