Where to find...

Just wondering where the best place is to buy quality bumpers. I'm going to buy a new front bumper for the stepper (mine is all warped on top and has a couple small dings) and wanted to know for those of you who have bought one or a couple where to buy best quality bumpers. I checked into OEM bumpers and the don't sell them anymore, so my only two options are buy an aftermarket or send the one off of it up north aways to Oak Harbor, to be straightened, smoothed and chromed. But if the artermarkets are descent quality then I'll just buy one of them.

ALSO for all of the stepside guys or at least for the most part, I figure you guys bought one sometime. I've been looking for the Grommet for the rear tailight plugin (the piece that resides in the bed) and have found no luck with the Dealer, Year One or Chevy Duty so far and I was wondering in anyone knew where I could buy one.

I bet one of your local body shops can locate you one really easy.

If at all possible get a factory bumper rechromed. I have yet to see an aftermarket bumper that didn't look like crap. Whatever you do don't buy one from LMC. I bought a painted one and it was about half the thickness of my factory bumper....

I was thinkiong of that but if I did happen to do that I would have to spend the extra money to have it smoothed and what have ya....so I guess I'd have a nice $1000 show bumper , and I have only bought from year one or goodmark soooo, I think if I buy a bumper it'll be YO and I still haven't seen an aftermarket bumper
