Best place to buy a Front Bumper?

I'm in the market for a new front bumper. I initially looked at the Premium bumper offered by LMC for $189. They also have one for $149. Then I saw Brother's has one on sale for $135. Anyone have any experience with either of these products. I want a good looking bumper that will last but I don't want to overpay for the sake of marketing. Any other vendors I should consider?

X2! Goodmark has the cheap ones and the ones with "USA chrome", is it worth the $50-75 to upgrade? Certifit also has chrome bumpers for ~$110 are they any good?

Re: Best place to buy a Front Bumper?

We offer the lowest prices on the same parts. The Premium bumper LMC sells is from the same manufacturer we get them from. We sell them for $120.00 each. Lets see? $189.00 or $120.00? I saved $69.00. Thats even less than the lower quality.They are the exact same with the same warrantee. Most companies want you to think theres are better and charge more.

X2 I wasn't able to locate it either. I'm sure a phone call would help.

I got mine from MBGMike. I just called and told him I need a GMC chrome front bumper and it arrived a few days later!
