The best way to get a quality chrome bumper is to take the bumper you want to a shop that does chrome, alot higher quality.

Thank looks GREAT!

How much did you give for that? And can it be gotten without the grille guard?

What brand is it?

Thanks!

I am not sure on price I use to know but can't remember. I personally hate chrome it is a real pain to keep looking good. I actually either powdercoat or have my bumpers sprayed with bed liner, most shops can match the color of your truck.

Not sure about w/o grill guard. It's a UTE, out of Australia. I sure the importer can answer all your questions.....

Thank you, Tiny! Intimidation is half the battle for the road..
Small cars seem to speed up, when they see this in their rear view...

Actually, the whole thing cants slightly down & under, probably for that reason.... so reflection is nominal.
People either love the UTE, or don't...being partial to Black only.

You are most welcome. That is a beautiful truck, and deserves the accolades. And I would prefer the polished over the black anyday.
