I put repro bumpers on my C10 in 2006. They still look new. Truck sits outside 24/7. I did coat the back with rust encapsulator like ciff mentioned. About once I year I put a coat of mother's chrome polish on them.

Whoops, sorry dude!
I've always assumed my bumpers are repos. What should I look at to find out? Can you tell from the photo?

The front is hard to tell, but on the back, remove the bolts for the license plate bracket. On some of the repos the holes aren't as square as they should be, and the casting around the bracket isn't as smooth as an original.
