Talking chrome bumper..........WOW !

I just installed the new chrome front bumper I bought from LMC. It looks great. I have put this off because I read here that some of these replacement bumpers are made in China or someplace and of poor quality, but this one is tripple plated and 3.25 mm thick. Just as heavy as the original. I'm happy !!! Don

Let's hope the chrome plating process holds up for you.

They usually start to rust out in 2 years.

I bought a bumper from LMC once. It came broken, made in China or somewhere, had welds that didn't connect to ANYTHING, and had rust appearing already before I installed it. SENT IT BACK ASAP!! NO THANKS!!

Hey Don, I know youve already got it installed but just a couple thoughts... Get some black enamel paint from ur local hardware store, sand & paint the inside the bumper. Also get a good wax on the bumper, and keep it waxed..should help keep it looked new, longer

yes make sure you keep it waxed or spray some wd-40 on it if you don't have time to wax it .
