Black bumpers??

Would black bumpers front and rear look wierd on my truck? They are are both have some rust right now, and was just kicking around ideas in my head. What would look right? a semi gloss black?




I am planning on a Westin bull bar and some Harley replica heads and corners to freshen up the front end. Any other ideas??

they may look ok, but there really isnt much black on your truck to match tho. plasti dip them and see if you like em?

get some clear fogs and paint the grille black.

Whoa, sorry for the big bottom picture!
Black front bumper, silver rear?
Maybe chrome? Just thinking about a different look.
Yes, will definatley do the clear fogs, hadn't thought about painting grill black.
I know of another silver lifted F150 in this section, with an RCD lift with black bull bar,
Chris from RI I think? It would look pretty much like his.

If you want to go black on the bumpers, you can't go wrong with bedliner.

Did you take a look at 3M vinyl wrap color options.

I think they have a silver in matte and in gloss ( in addition to the black, etc ).,

I got some Matte black for my Dark Stone truck, but I have not had time to put it on yet.

Just a thought, this way if you don't like it it peels right off...

Never even thought of the 3M vinyl wrap.
Yea, I don't know about mismatched bumpers either, just throwing it out there.
