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?
