Custom front bumpers

Hey all,

Since I saw a photo of what I think is a cadillac bumper on a pickup I've loved the look and I'll continue to search for a second hand one.

Any one fitted a Caddy bumper like the ones below, would be great to hear about the fit and work involved etc.

Anyone know what year bumpers are in the pics?

Be good to see some more pics of Caddy or any other type of custom bumpers on a pickup.

Re: Custom front bumpers

The gold truck is one of the very few that I have seen that carries that look off right. It fits the overdone look of the whole truck and becomes part of that look and doesn't look stuck on as an afterthought like the one on the bare metal truck. If you do it it has to be part of the whole package to look right.

This one almost goes too far the other way even though it looks good.

I'm pretty sure that is the plastic grill bar out of a late model Chevy truck.

Re: Custom front bumpers

Is it just me or does this truck resemble a spider?
