Front Chrome Bumper Replacement

Front bumper on the 2017 F250 Lariat is chrome. A few years ago, the rust spot came and came. So, what to do? If you replace it with something, it is a front and back deal if it is colored so not really wanting to toss the back one which is fine. This is on a white truck with chrome rims if that makes a difference.

I can replace it with the OEM one but I am a little bit concerned about the quality since it rusted like this. Should I drop $1000 on a new OEM one and believe this is an oddity or what aftermarket front ones can I get that don't make it look weird with the rear OEM one? TIA

You can drive down to SoCal and I will give you mine if a 19 will fit on a 17...

If ever down around st louis, I just took mine off last week. Only thing missing is the towhooks and fog lamps. Lamp mounts still present. But I wasn't planning on giving it away.

Installed a steelcraft last week.

Check for a bumper shop near you, they can fix the rust a re-chrome it for way less than a new one.

I will. I didn't know they're still in existence.

Maybe it's a Texas thing. My local FB Market place is full of them. I whacked my chrome front bumper on my 2020 and bought the front and back off a 22 for $200 including fog lights. Never used, guy drove the truck to aftermarket shop from the dealer.

You can get one off ebay shipped to you and load it up with your plastics.

That is a crazy stupid thing. $200 for front and rear bumpers with fog lights? WTF. I have to be checking on Facebook marketplace. At that price, I couldn't care less if it lasts another 3 years only. Thanks for the heads up.

They get more expensive and harder to find once they update the style. 2017 is a couple iterations back.

If I had to go through the trouble of removing and repairing mine, I’d replace it with an aluminum aftermarket one.
