Bumper Question - which one?

Is the Ford replacement bumpers LMC Truck sell better quality than the bumpers from Fey/Westin?

I am looking at LMC’s 38-9736 - CHROME STEP BUMPER W/STEP PAD (not the Star Lite bumper) for my 1995 Ford F150.

I spoke with LMC but the Customer Service Rep did not know who makes the bumper.

I know the Star Lite bumper s an LMC ‘Exclusive”, just not clear if the others they sell are Fey/Westin bumpers.

I have read the Fey bumpers do not look as good as the originals.

Which after-market bumpers are better and look the best on a 1995 F150 XLT? Do the bumpers from LMC look better?

Thanks

The simple answer is NO. LMC is the bottom of the barrel on quality, fitment and price.
I restored a friends 79 for him. The bolts that hold the mirror on were rusting within 2 months and the mirror shook from day one

The bumpers were rusting in less than a years time and the chrome was very blurry and not chroemlike
Save your money and headaches any buy one from your local body shop if you are buying new aftermarket

location, location, location:

around here, lots of nice shiny bumpers in the junkyard.

at my dad's, in western NY state, there is nothing.


so it's worth putting LOCATION either in your sig or your post.
