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?
