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.

I used just the center section for my front bumper on my old 17 F250. Great product and fit was perfect. They use 3M tape that is hard to take off, haha.

Try an auto graphics shop, ask them for a quote to wrap in any color you choose. My son in law does this and its amazing.

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.

lol i know my limits I attempted tinting and no thanks. I feel like vinyl would be the same so I didnt plan on doing that myself.
