Don't doubt it one bit. The guys and me at the shop already discussed the fact I will be striping them down in a year or so to have our buddy powder coat them black like he did for the crappy after markets I got for my jeep! I wish my old ones were not so banged up or I would have done that in the first place!

It gets better as they age. As soon as they see winter they will start to rust on the inside and the chrome will peel in about 2 years.

I bought two after market bumpers over the winter (chrome) from two different online vendors we all know. Although they looked like cheap plating when I got them they would suffice for my need as a finish my restoration this week.
Upon installation I'm appaled at the fit of either bumper. End caps don't fit well, holes don't line up well and required additional drilling and all around suck in my opinion. Are the all buying from the same crap source to get us affordable bumpers?
