Bad324 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 doesnt look that bad so I'd probably just leave it if it were my truck. Then again I could really care what my truck looks like, its a truck and I'm cheap sometimesLet me see if my buddy still has a hook up on GM parts, he used to get me shit for my pontiac really cheap back in the day but I have no idea if he still works there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Cool. Let me know if he can.I got busy today and forgot to call LKQ. Is that the same place as the old midwest fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Cool. Let me know if he can.I got busy today and forgot to call LKQ. Is that the same place as the old midwest fender?I think so. I think Action Crash bought Midwest Fender, LKQ bought action, or something like that. I might be totally off on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysix Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I think so. I think Action Crash bought Midwest Fender, LKQ bought action, or something like that.

Steve Butters Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 take it off - hammer it back into shape - hit it with a rough sander to eat up some chrome - paint bumper black and grill to matchdone - nobody will even notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well talked to my buddy this morning. He called over there but he can't get a better price than what you're finding already. He's a character, was ranting ad raving about that fact lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Do you remember what brand it was?Sorry so late. The seller is martinsautoparts on eBay. Type martin auto parts in the search and you'll get their stuff. I didn't look to see if they had one for your truck - probably do. They're in London, KY so the parts ship fast. The price I paid was $195 total shipped (for a chrome front bumper). Here's how good they are. When I ordered and got my rear step bumper, there was a little plastic push clip missing from the lower right corner. All I needed was the stupid clip but they sent me an entire other bumper! I had to struggle with them to get an RA for the original one. It was like they didn't even care if they got it back. Good customer service, and the bumper is still perfect and it's been on the truck since January of '08! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Was it triple chrome? some of the places I've talked to say theirs are triple dipped and to watch out for the single dipped bumpers. Probably bullshit, but thought I'd ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I don't know, I think the biggest problem may be the rust coming through from the back. I think there's also a metal retainer strip in the upper cover that can stream surface rust onto the bumper. Before I replaced my front, I went around asking about re-chroming. That's all it really needed. Prohibitively expensive.For $200 I figured it was worth it. Just went out and looked close at it - it sits outside all the time - no rust anywhere, looks nice and classy.Just use a cotton cloth and chrome polish before you put it on and do that once a year.

max power Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 thanks for the info. I may spray the back with rubber undercoating when I get one. Thinking about getting the primered unit and having it sprayed satin black to match the trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Cool. I found this one from them.

serpentracer Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 oh and btw, that top plastic is a bitch to get on. it's just a tight ass fit. I'd put it in a warm area for while to soften up the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put it in a warm area for while to soften up the plastic.Yes definitely. It was undamaged, but it is deformed as it sits on the twisted up bumper. I'm hoping it will go back to its original shape when I take it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
