Bumper Quality
I've searched through the forum in the past and couldn't come up with much, so if there are other threads about this, just yell at me and I'll try again to find them.
I need new bumpers for my truck, and I wanted to hear other people's experiences with the chrome bumpers from Dennis C, Jeff's Bronco, LMC, etc. For those of you who have purchased these bumpers, do they pass the test of time? Will they start peeling and rusting after a couple years? Chrome isn't what it used to be so I am a bit concerned about the quality.
I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

I'm serious.
Living in Calgary I was handy to numerous independant plating companies and even toured 2 of them.
They still could not match the quality of the OEM bumpers that Ford sold.
I got a bumper for my Truck in 2002 and was told that Ford was producing them again
So I guess my comment was meant as: why buy from the aftermarket when you can get a better product from Ford ?

I wasn't saying that I don't believe you :-) You are just the first person to reply to both of my threads today and give a very simple answer to my newbie questions :-P I was mocking my lack of experience.
Now that I know I can by OEM Ford, that is definitely the path I will take. The extra cost is worth the extra quality.
Thanks for the help.
