Just know they will probably be thinner then your stock one. Also when installing the bumper it probably won't sit flush on your frame and will probably have to use bumper shims so you don't dimple the bumper.

Yeah, hopefully it will be nice enough. I've kept my eye on local area postings for bumpers for a few months and nothing worthwhile comes up. My original bumper is tearing from where a PO must have got it caught on something while backing up. Hard to argue with $72 shipped. Maybe I'll be able to repair my original and swap it back.
