Re: new bumpers ?

My Blazer didn't have the front bumper when I bought it, so I ended up with an aftermarket bumper. It started showing small rust spots within a few months. I found that if I use chrome polish on it every couple of months, it's not too much of a problem.

The other thing is that the fit isn't quite right, especially with the mounting tabs for the turn signal housings in my 72.

Re: new bumpers ?

I purchased paint grade bumpers and had a local shop plate them for me. Easer to deal with a local shop if the plating fails.

Re: new bumpers ?

I bought both of mine from Brothers. No complaints here. They are all made overseas.

Re: new bumpers ?

I got mine from top banana . I haven't installed it yet so I dont have any road time to report, however the finish is very nice and its pretty thick metal. Side note I got the one with the fog lights.
