Rusty Bumpers

My front and rear bumpers are rusting. What is best place to buy replacement bumpers that will not rust?

My best suggestion is to buy a new set of steel ones, and get them completely linexed.

I am in the same boat. Lots of choices on the Web, Suspect most are junk. Do I bend over & go to my local Ford dealer? Or are some aftermarket maybe "legit".

I bought an aftermarket front bumper from amazon.com. At that time, it was significantly less expensive, and I got free shipping.

If long term ownership is planned, I'd go Ford parts / bumpers and have them professionally finished front & back sides.

Hey Fifty, I am aware of all the swarf on the interwebs, here in the rust belt, the counterfeit and Chinesium parts can turn to fuzz in just one winter. It's looking like Ford parts is likely the answer.

Even if you buy some lower cost steel bumpers from the InterWeb, shooting them with Line-X would solve your problems. If you buy OEM Ford Motorcraft, Line-X is still a great idea.
