Bumpers

I have the chrome bumper in the garage. The solid bumper is on the RAT now.

I seem to have a jones to switch back to the chrome one. The turn signals are nicely bolted in behind the grille now, so they's say.

I know it's personal preference, but are there any thoughts on this from the standpoint of design?

Re: Bumpers

i like the solid look myself plus it looks a little duller which looks better with the rat theme you could do like me and shave bolts off and paint one off of body colorName:  IMG1500.jpg

Re: Bumpers

M-17, it looks good both ways, but I prefer chrome with the lower marker lights.


And I hope to see your wife, cookies, your truck and you on C/10/4/14

Re: Bumpers

the chrome pops, but your other bumper should be with no bolts as the above pic looks good and the chrome should have the lights in it if you use it

Re: Bumpers

Chrome is way over rated, I like the painted bumper myself. Everybody has chrome bumpers. Be unique.

Just noticed you live right by my sister, she lives in Yosemite Lake Park, I will keep an eye out for the RAT when I'm in there area.
