Finally a black rear bumper. Pics.

I found a black rear bumper local off craigslist. Picked it up yesterday, installed it today. I had to replace the internals which was a pain. I had to pop off the top plastic bumper covers and remove the supports and put the integrated hitch components on the new to me bumper. Wasn't easy lining it all up myself, but I think I did a good job.

Here's some pics, and I know the truck is dirty as HELL.

Before.



After.

Looks sweet! Did you have a black front bumper and a chrome rear bumper before?

I got a black front bumper when my wife wrecked my truck. I just hadn't gotten around to getting a black rear bumper.

I'll ad a before image to the post. :o

It won't be the same, but close, on the outside anyway. I have a 3DCarbon skirt kit and a Reflkexxions hood in the garage that need to get painted soon. Sad thing is I can still think of more stuff to do to it. :o It never ends.

I know how ya feel on the "it never ends" haha... I know your truck is real dirty on the back... but how does the paint match up? in the pic looks like the bumper might be a shade darker, but hard to tell under the dirt

I wiped the grime off before I installed it. It's been so rainy here everything on my truck is a shade of dried slime brown. Really need to wash it.
