First off, my truck is a 2005 Screw XLT 2WD, solid black.

I am trying (like everyone else it seems) to change my bumpers to PTM. My truck is all black and I was looking at OEM style aftermarket bumpers on ebay and also on partstrain.com. The information says that these are pre-painted black. So, I called the company and they confirmed that they are painted black and not just primed black (they have black primed also). I was wondering if anyone else had tried these and what their opinions were. It sure seems cheap for a decently painted bumper (which makes me wonder if they are in fact decently painted).

Here are a couple of links.

Front Bumper

Rear Bumper

Thanks for any advice. This is my first post.

 

No one have any experience with these bumpers? Would anyone say it is worth the risk?

 

I was looking at them on amazon. My chrome is scratched and was thinking about swapping over to black. My truck is Tan however.

 

My front bumper is an aftermarket OEM style, primed black. It is a direct fit, zero install issues, zero alignment issues. Had it painted in OEM paint code UA and cleared by local body shop. It has been great.

I say, buy the aftermarket bumper, primed. Not painted. Get it painted yourself to ensure you get a quality paint job. If they offer it painted for only $50 more over primed, bad sign. If they ask for $150 more for painting, another bad sign. Could cost them $25 in material and some time, and a half-@ss job. Profit in their pocket. Should cost $100 for paint & clear.
