Another dumb noob question!

Not all noobs are dumb, but I sure feel like it... Took my truck to get the front end fixed and bumper replaced. They found an aftermarket for $100 so I told them that was okay. Then I found out it's not exactly the same and it's on my truck! It doesn't look true chrome or something. What's the deal? Any ideas? Thanks...

dumb noob

I have a "sortafit' on mine, and the chrome was almost as good as the original. The only problem is sometimes you get a good one, and sometimes not. A certifit bumper should only cost $60.
