stock bumper covers/trim

Where's the best place to get replacement bumper covers? I need both the front and the top pieces. LMC? Any other place? I don't want crap quality, but my pockets aren't deep enough for Chrysler prices either.

Well, forget LMC Truck. They are charging $20 each for the top trim piece and front trim piece in addition to the $23.75 in standard shipping charges. I guess the $60 price tag for each trim piece isn't such a good deal when you add $64 in shipping charges to the total price. $120 turned into $184 in a hurry. LMC Truck shoppers...grab your ankles!!!

Body parts are usually tough to find for a good price.

I'd search e-bay and then look for the discount parts houses tryin to get a sale. I got 50 dollar tailight lenses for my tahoe for 20 bucks free shipping.

I was thinking about eBay, but I wasn't sure if the quality was there.

LMC may have some premium shipping but the parts are right and if you want to get your stuff in one piece the first time you will pay the premium.
I have no touble with anything I've gotten from them so far. A buddy of mine just got a full door for his F150. He said the box was huge and the door was double packed, but he got it without even a rub on the primer.
You get what you pay for.

If you have a friend in the autobody trade you may also be able to get cheaper parts thru him.

Unfortunately the front and rear ends of our trucks are usually what's damaged in collisions and these parts are in demand. Dad's had the bumper replaced on his truck probably at least three times from hitting deer and its never cheap. And you can almost never find them at salvage yards.

The CertiFit division in Salt Lake City has both the upper and front covers for $30 each. I'll check them out after work today.

I ended up picking up both the top and front covers at Interstate Auto Body Parts (a division of CertiFit) in Salt Lake City today for $60. I pulled the old covers off when I got home and cleaned up the bumper. I'll put the new covers on when the factory tow hooks come in.
