I agree, it has the style of the ss bumper but it looks to me like it could of been custom done to fit our style trucks.

Redcap · 11-13-2012, 05:24 PM

What have they done to it? They made it look really stupid.

cory d · 11-13-2012, 05:27 PM

if it didnt hang down so far i wouldnt be so grossed out by it

Jsieger89 · 11-13-2012, 05:39 PM

That is what I was afraid of! I fill cofident that I could manufacture something to make a bumper fit( brackets extr) but I'm not really a body guy idk if I can just whip up a bumper from scratch!

Good one.

I figure if they put a small air deflector along the bottom you could go plow snow with it.

Hideous looking either way.

chevybuilder18 · 11-13-2012, 06:59 PM

doesnt fit the seems. needs reshaped, every one here can tell. if he wanted it to look good, why not got to 80s style air dam on the bottom of the bumper and lower it, in my opinion, the black air damns are like ground effects at the same time on a chrome bumper. if you look right the truck aint even lowered. it is hideous

chevybuilder18 · 11-13-2012, 07:06 PM

also isnt ss bumper off the newer trucks. look a lil closer. it is a z71 bumper off an 06

Dalaigh · 11-13-2012, 07:16 PM

Its a modified aftermarket SS bumper for the 88-98 trucks. A buddy was going to do the something, till he realized how ugly it was going to look.
