Replacement Bumper?

[Steve Cloud]

Okay, I've gone back and forth on what to do about my bumper. It's hard to see from this photo, but there are several pretty good dents in the front bumper. Main one is just above and to the left of the driver side fog lamp. Could I live with them? Sure, but they bug me every time I walk by to get into my truck. Been trying to decide whether to put on something like a bumper replacement/grill guard combo from Ranch Hand, or replace the chrome bumper, and then just add a grill guard later.

I just like the "look" of the factory bumper a lot. Is there a good place to find a factory bumper and air dam? Don't really want to order from the dealer.

eBay is the cheapest and they look pretty factory. In terms of quality look up a thread called “Mopar parts at employee prices” and ask Benny what an OEM replacement would cost.

Got a quote from Benny... still can't believe how expensive Mopar parts are, even at a discount. Could get a solid aftermarket bumper for that.

I kind of thought that might happen because it’s OEM part, but he’s been pretty helpful to me so I had to put it out there.

Actually have some experience here..... bought a replacement(non oem). Looked great had a friend I stall it and it looked great. 2 weeks later I was hit by a minivan and it needed to be replaced. Took it to the body shop and they replaced with oem parts and they did not shine like the aftermarket. The body shop ordered 3 oem bumpers and all 3 had somewhat of a dull finish compared to the aftermarket. For the record I stayed with oem parts

Yup, great guy. Not faulting him at all. Just the crazy pricing of OEM bumpers that are pretty cheaply made anyways.
