I got my chrome bumper from LMC, it was slightly bent on the far passenger side on the top. Other than that it looks great.

Yes I used them in past for some parts but D/C ford parts are better quality

when you order from lmc. it specifically says that they are shipped from over seas, and minor damage should be expected.

If Dennis Carpenter has them, and they are made from Ford's original tooling, I'd buy them.
Overseas junk won't last, it's like putting a string of soda cans around the front and rear.
Me? I'd refinish the bumpers you have unless they are not stock or beyond repair.

Yea I read that. It doesn't bother me, you really don't see it unless you get close, its very slight, but it was a reasonable buy.

Might want to check out a company called Bumper Boyz (google it) for original replated bumpers.

ok, never heard of that before. Dennis Carpenter has the best, original ford tooling.
