Bumper shellz?
Anyone ever use Bumper Shellz? They look interesting. I've got a XLT that's Oxford white ⁷with chrome package i bought used, not a big fan of chrome but for what i got the truck for I've lived with it. My front bumper has a few nicks and some specs of rust on it. Not too bad but nonetheless still there. I've wanted white bumpers and was thinking about either painting them, plastidip or a replacement is about $450 thats painted oxford white at least for the front. No idea on rear though. Then I saw people doing these bumper shellz. Not cheap either but kinda like the idea of a protective layer and not painting the chrome bumper to be permanent and chip off and what not. About $420 for gloss white front and back. Can get oxford white but $850 lol id replace the bumpers before that. Just curious if others have used them. Saw a thread about some F150s but nothing on Super Dutys.

That looks really good! I think i might have seen your post on a F150 forum thread. How thick are the pieces? It's hard on videos to tell. Glad to know the tape works really good

I can look into that. I typically prefer to diy everything but its worth looking into what the price would be to see if its worth me doing other options.

I vinyl wrapped my chrome bumper and grille back in the day, man what a PAIN. the vinyl held up to i think 4-5 Phoenix summers before it was pretty shot. never parked inside either. If you have a knack for vinyl, it's a good option. Otherwise I'd say have a shop do it, bring them the pieces all stripped down so they can just do the wrapping portion. Grille and bumper comes off pretty easy on these trucks.
